I’m so sorry Kings fans
be sorry for us if we finish dead last but end up with anything else than a 1st overall pick
other than that, no need to feel bad for us, thanks though

I'm just saying.. Eklund called this
They can easliy re-tool like the Bruins. Throw this year and pick up Hughes or another guy in the draft, trade: Carter, Martinez, Muzzin, Pearson, that would get them some nice assets. Maybe 2-3 years they can comeback and be a contender again.You don't rebuild when your #1 c and d are in their prime and two of the top 10 players in the league.
The Kings roster is better than what we have seen so far and has underachieved a bit.
It doesn't help though that they haven't added a single high end young talent to the roster in over 5 years.
Why? Kings can use rock bottom as a solid foundation to rebuild the team on.I’m so sorry Kings fans
I hope their lines are balanced. Prepare for lines 1 and 4 to see equal ice time.
That's cool. I lost count how many 24 minute games Kopitar has played and Doughty recently played 30 minutes.I hope their lines are balanced. Prepare for lines 1 and 4 to see equal ice time.
I don't think the Canucks ever really quit on Willie but I've never seen such a blatantly incompetent coach at the NHL level other than maybe Eakins.
Rolled the lines 1-2-3-4 literally every time and cost us a playoff series by doing so, loves his veterans (don't know how maybe Medicine Hat Tiger or Texas Star alumni they have), got a **** ton of too many men penalties and never had any sort of good possession metrics.
There was a season where Derek Dorsett led our team in TOI while trailing.

To fire Q?I wish the hawks had the same balls. Freaking cowards in our front office.
Dang, best of luck with Willie. At least you know where your management is going. He is truly the tank commander because he will take most of the blame for not keeping your team prepared on a consistent basis. I will never forgive him the way he treated Nikita Tryamkin. The only players that benefited during his tenure was Jayson Megna, Michael Chaput, Nic Dowd, Derek Dorsett, Luca Sbisa and Jack Skille.
Contrary to popular belief, Willie is not a bad coach. He was just not well suited for a team that should be prioritizing young player development over winning.
I think he'll do well in LA.
Nope, he was crap. He would put Chaput, Megna and Vey on the Sedins line for no reason at all. He even put Dorsett on that line for a while. He actually slowed Bo Horvat's development. He actually succeeded despite given crap time from Willie.
That's a welcome change from Stevens who was way too quick to shorten the bench and grind Doughty+Kopitar into dust.
That totally justified playing Linden Vey over Bo Horvat and even Henrik Sedin to an extendehh tbf desjardins didnt get much nhl coaching experience before being handed the canucks. maybe he could prove people wrong.
he did coach two whl teams (never missed the playoffs once over 9 years and typically over 40 wins which is relatively impressive in the chl) to championships and an ahl team to a championship.
He's a worse speaker version of Dallas EakinHonestly he’s a less glorified Dallas Eakins, horrible horrible horrible coach.

so you're saying they are waving the white flag in early November?you mean there's a 32nd spot in rankings? i didn't know...
they hired Desjardins as an interim coach
we are currently dead last, to me the sense is that they prefer to keep it that way and retool properly with a potential top 5 pick, there's literally no risk, they haven't signed Desjardins to a five year deal
i don't think you quite understand what this deal entails
