Peeking in on the Kings board it sounds like the only option is to re-tool. Luc and Blake have hinted at the fact. They're not letting go of Kopitar or Quick, and Doughty at 30 will be guaranteed a fat contract in 2 years. Boston is viewed as the ideal as an older core who's injecting youth successfully, but IMO we still need to see what that brings in the 2nd round to judge. Also they have 8 (?) young guys contributing where LA has nowhere near the depth.
It's a lot like the Wings. Cup wins brought on loyalty, reward based contracts/trades which neglected a vision for the future. Human error. Brown at 5.85 for 4 more seasons is an albatross, locked into 33 yo Carter, Taffoli and Pearson, Phaneuf, is not a good look. They need to trade to add some speed, draft picks maybe, and pray the next wave can take the reigns.
