I think he is even worse with his permanent changing lines and preventing creating any kinds of chemistry between players.

Ah yes, a constant reminder of Blake f***ing this franchise for the next quarter century would be appropriate

Goongala! Goongala!
Saw the score at 2-1 last night during the 2nd period. Thought to myself, we're due for a win, nice. And what do you know I checked this morning and saw we lost. April Fools to me.

Not even pissed anymore. One step closer to an organization colon cleanse.

sending current "star" players is probably the only way to make it palatable. fast track a real rebuild. if you start shipping 1sts AGAIN and retaining all these albatrosses i think you're handicapping yourself even harder. maybe a mid-round 1st this draft isn't the end of the world though
regardless, either the trigger has to be pulled or the pill has to be swallowed THIS offseason. the buyout value absolutely tanks if you don't do it this offseason
personally i find it very hard to believe they're gonna do anything but sit on their thumbs and allow him to be a disappointment, no matter who's in charge, but that's purely my opinion
you're not wrong..

It doesn't really matter if it's a star player or a first IMO, because this would trigger a rebuild, and you'd be trading said star player away anyways for 1st(s). That's how I see it.
Kempe + PLD for Gallagher? Okay. Fine with me. I don't give a shit really.
I agree with you they'll most likely do nothing.
Another problem with trading PLD is that he's scheduled to make over 22M the next two seasons. Teams won't like that.
My question is does AEG care about the the teams performance or the the kings at all?
Maybe they will just happily continue to write those checks for the three stooges and the rest with no thought of winning, the team or its brand.
Ive been a fan if the kings for longer than i will admit and its sorry to watch an organization finally become a champion and a place players wanted to come to revert back to the nhl laughingstock it was for decades.
Paying customers and consumers dont deserve it.

After losing 3 straight there is now a real chance that this team misses playoffs. I just think I can't be disappointed more, and then it keeps going.
Also, a little bit of a new/old topic, but in the mainstream Kings media sphere, it was commonly talked about that The Kopitar/Doughty regime had a "switch" for playoffs.
"Oh, they're slow now but they'll flip the switch and become more competitive"
"Just wait until games matter, they'll start producing then"
The fact is that the "switch" has been a complete copium myth ever since the cup was won. People look at what happened there and thought "oh they used to be bad and now good, so switch" when in actuality it was a dominant team once Sutter took over, and off loading forever minus Johnson for Carter was basically adding 10 wins a year. They were so good and in sync that things didn't matter.
2014 was a similar story, we were forcing Mike Richards at 2nd C when he was cooked, and moving him to 4th C in the middle of playoffs actually flipped the momentum. It wasn't a new found sense of effort or competition.
And every year since those two cups, there's been a little copium pipe in the corner wishing that things will magically get better when the regulars start caring a little more. And that is always a lie.
Kopitar, Doughty, and the culture around them do not get better later. They try their best all the time and variance fluctuates on whether that is good enough or not. Everyone's comments all the time point towards this being what actually happens, they play the same way all the time and don't understand why they lose.
I think Kopitar and Doughty are still serviceable players, but they are not banner holders. They cannot carry a team on their back. And their temperaments do not inspire lesser performers to be better, nor themselves to be better.

The first game back from the trip is against Seattle. Classic trap game.
Buckle up folks, the next two weeks are going to be VERY interesting.

"interesting" would be a nice change of pace, at least

Winners of the Offseason
Management: This team was built for April. Our goal is to be a team that makes the playoffs and advances to the second round. We’ve improved our depth down the middle in order to compete against opponents who have better talent.
Reality: Flawed teams who spend less are on the cusp of upsetting us. If we fail, everyone is up for getting fired. If they fail, they ar still more likely to improve next year. Biggest story of our offseason is whether our future #1C gets bought out.

Mission accomplished for Blake. The Kings are almost as good as the Predators.
