To me it is way more complicated than just saying “Fire the GM”. What I see is a GM who continually tries to address weaknesses, and a roster that continually underachieves.

Yeah that's pretty much me.
I'd add to that the drum I keep beating, which is the paramount issue on the team right now is that they had their first line dry up, which I don't think many saw coming.
Adding the likes of Tkachuk, Lindholm, Mangiapane to that base should have given them the top six needed to compete.
Didn't happen, but I don't know of any that suggested it wouldn't prior to the two players losing their five on five abilities to produce.
I just get the feeling that the GM is a guy that learns from mistakes, would seem almost silly to break in a new one and go through that same process. I guess if they could do at GM what they did at the coach level and bring in a hockey hall of fame level architect you have to look at it, but short of that stay with what they have.
