He's the guy at the top... ultimately he's the one that hires the hockey ops people. I expect him to hire people that will use those dollars to effectively build a successful hockey team and he has been an abject failure at meeting that expectation.
I'm not saying the owners don't want the team to win... of course they do if for no other reason then playoffs = more revenue, and success increases demand and increased demand means increased ticket prices which = more revenue. And naturally they would want the vanity prize of having their name etched on the best trophy in the world. But the money spent has been squandered... wasted by the teams day-to-day management. That management has to change and that change starts with Ken King. Ken King is part of the problem not part of the solution.
