I would say the following.
1. It is a consistent pattern regardless of the GM. The owners are the consistent variable
2. Being smart at business doesn't make them smart at running a hockey team. In fact at times they are at odds. Squeaking into the playoffs to get some home playoff dates maximizes revenue at the time of the year where costs are at the lowest.
