The Blues problems are a direct extension of having been sold 3 times in 12 years.
Without the bull#### brett Hull crease goal, Darcy Regier is likely a stanley cup winning general manager. In his tenure with Buffalo he guided that team to back to back conference finals appearances and a presidents trophy.
Again, that team's problems are directly traceable to ownership. While Regier was GM of the Sabres they were sold 3 times and filed for bankruptcy protection once.

Milbury had 11 years with the Islanders.
Garth Snow on year 12
Sather had 15 years with NYR
Bobby Clarke had 12 years with PHA
Dave Taylor had 9 years with LAK
Feaster had 8 years with TBL
Don Waddell 11 years with ATL
A couple of these guys had Cup wins in there. I don't believe years in service necessarily make for a good GM.
I hear you on ownership and maybe that's an issue here. I have no idea what the dynamics are in this organization. But they do let their GM's spend money.
