Are any of the scouts who decided to select Aki Forbort over Tarasenko still employed in the NHL?

To be honest you're the only one defending him and it would be cheap if I didn't say your name. I wasnt attacking you tbh. And he doesn't belong where he's at you're right
And that's not true, go through my history when he does good I say it.

Kings were still in rebuild mode at the time. It's a classic case of drafting for need at the time instead of the best available player and why in almost all circumstances it's a poor road to go down.

Kings weren't the only team that passed. There was also a lot of question about his status in Russia and why he fell so far. He's have been top 5 if they knew what they knew now. Dallas chose Jack Campbell over him, Rangers chose Dylan Mcllrath who played a whooping 43 nhl games btw.

Amazing how one play changed the game around when it was 2-1. The Kings came within inches of tying it, then Muzzin turns it over and it 3-1 and in just fell apart from there. Doughty didn't have to pass it too him either, he had Kopitar in the middle and if he goes up the board with a simple bank pass its out.

I had the displeasure of buying tickets to and attending todays game. The 2 most exciting things that happened were the dog races after the 1st and an ice girl or whatever you call them running down the stairs to give a fan a prize and the cameraman zoomed in to show some bouncy stuff happening. I was sitting right next to the cameraman and they were all smiling.

When you look at the home records, out of all the teams in playoff position, the Kings are the only team who aren't at least 10 games over .500. This is just killing us in the standings.

A dog dropping a turd on the ice would have been symbolic of this team.

Wild Wing was at the game, not sure who was in charge of that decision in the marketing department but if you're looking for somebody to blame maybe it's the guy in the costume?
Lets hope so because that brain trust won 2 Stanley Cups in LA. The other brain trust in St. Louis has won ZERO and has another ZERO on the horizon.

What's the statute of limitation on this? Feels like it's expired.

The brain trust which set the Kings up to win two Stanley Cups is long gone. Unfortunately Dean was great at building it, not so great at maintaining it and replacing used parts with new parts when necessary.
Now we have to pin all our hopes on Blake, Futa, and Yannetti for scouting and trades. Then it's up to the player development department, which has done a good job.
