As Arsenal fans, Colorado Avalanche fans, St Louis Rams fans, and LA Rams fans can attest: it doesn't matter what the bold vision of the general manager is. Stan Kroenke is the owner. Colorado, like all the rest of Kroenke's franchises, will:

1. Hire coaches with ZERO previous coaching experience because they're dirt cheap and they used to play for the club.
2. Refuse to invest the necessary money to compete for championships.
3. Sell all of the top players because they cost too much.
4. Save money by hiring management staff that no one else wants(more dirt cheap).
5. Get the owner rich without regard to the quality of product on the field.

You can put a silk hat on a pig, but that pig is still Stan Kroenke.
