Sutter moving on, would be my guess.

Any chance the GM too?

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Sutter retiring/fired.

Maybe Lombardi too but less likely.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sutter moving on, would be my guess.

Any chance the GM too?

If Sutter moves on, I'd be shocked for him not to have a job by the end of the month.

They traded for a third starting goalie.

They traded for a third starting goalie.

They really think it will help them go deep in this year's playoffs.

Wtf.... Back to dark days for kings fans.

 

[BigKing]

They really think it will help them go deep in this year's playoffs.

Actually, they are going to announce that they plan on sucking for the next decade in the hopes they get to draft a generational player at the end of said decade.

C'mon now. Don't make me have to cheer for someone else besides Edmonton in the West.

As for the announcement, money should be placed on Sutter being let go.

Well...Lombardi too.

Kings will be all about trying to make money instead of winning moving forward. Robitaille. Jesus Christ.

oilwave...I take back my response. Pile it on!

 

[Empoleon8771]

Oh boy, nepotism at its finest.

 

[Juxtaposer]

What could go wrong?

 

[edguy]

Both will get jobs rather quick.. Sutter to DAL is something I could see..

 

[spintheblackcircle]

You think they'd hire Selanne and Ricci?

 

[Breakers]

Lombardi screwed himself with those TERRIBLE contracts he handed out.

 

[King'sPawn]

****ing old boys club.

Futa should be GM.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Letting Sutter and Lombardi go is the correct move. Not to thrilled to see Rob Blake as GM though.

 

[kilowatt]

I'm kind of surprised they got rid of Lombardi. Sutter I understand, but wow. Guess that a change is gonna come for LA.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Lombardi will have another GM job within the year.

Meanwhile, us Kings fans get to endure another ol' boys club. Joy.

Sutter will work on his farm

 

[MOGlLNY]

Really sad but necessary. Darryl is an amazing coach but he's lost the room and the offense wasn't getting ANYTHING done. I'm not sure about Blake being GM, it should be Futa. But we'll see what happens.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

John Stevens coach?

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Lombardi screwed himself with those TERRIBLE contracts he handed out.

The Lucic and Sekera trades didn't help either

 

[Shockmaster]

Lombardi screwed himself with those TERRIBLE contracts he handed out.

His reputation also took a big hit after the World Cup. Just a terrible team he put together.

 

[caley]

Lombardi will have another GM job within the year.

I wouldn't be shocked if a team turfs their GM now and brings Lombardi onboard. I could see him being brought in to further the Sabres rebuild, maybe oversee the Islanders?

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

I think Futa was the rather easy choice over Blake, but it looks like the good ol boys club is back in LA
