He's done for good. Someone on the main board said he can go back to yelling at his tractor now lol.

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
I think Sutter prefers farming to coaching tbh.

He was more successful than the Kings since he was fired in 2016-17.
Sutter should be in the HOF.

They basically bribed him to come back to coach and the Flames were the only team he would come back for. Not sure what they expected from him. He's a hard ass.

Sutter can f*** off personally. He was a lightning in a bottle moment. Nothing more.
With that said, I’d actually consider taking Lombardi back if it was viable because Blake has absolutely no vision and idea what’s wrong with the team. Dean Lombardi knew what was wrong with the team, he just took the wrong approach.
Blake is taking all the wrong approaches.
Losing Korpisalo , hiring Todd and keeping him for some god forsaken reason, the LD issues, the nonstop throating of Durzi, Edler who needs to be put down, no Clarke even though f*** the ELC. No Spence. Byfield is likely a bust. Turcotte is a nobody. Kaliyev sits for no reason. Worst PK I’ve ever seen. Worst coaching I’ve ever seen. Playing 1-3-1 when down.
Blake and Todd have ZERO idea on what to do.
Sutter can f*** off but at least with DL you knew why he made the choices he did.

Unless LA is going after Saros, I’d rather have Korpi over Gav. We need stability in net. I liked Gav’s play, but it would be wasted if we don’t have someone that can stop the puck.

“Stability” is not the term I’d use to describe Korpisalo’s career to this point. He’s had occasional flashes but has regularly been one of the worst goalies in the NHL.

I mean, sure, but there was no way that TMac is going anywhere this off-season. Blake himself doesn't have the rope to play around. At the very least, TMac is going to enter the last season of his contract and will either get fired if the Kings seriously misstep throughout the season or suffer another unconvincing first round exit, or he gets extended if they make a convincing run.

Whatever happens, I don't want to see TMac extended DURING the season. There is absolutely no reason to do that until after the season and (hopefully) the playoffs.
The last coach elected I believe was Pat Quinn
Quinn
1400 games coached
684 wins
528 loses
154 ties
15 playoff appearances
0 Stanley Cups
1 Screwing the Kings over
Sutter
1478 games coached
737 wins
529 loses
57 ties/OTL's
15 playoff appearance
2 Stanley Cups
0 Screwing the Kings over

If you want Sutter and Lombardi to come back, what you REALLY want - but don't know it - is a time machine. There's no going back to the past....

I’ve been thinking too. He gains nothing by making some big bold statement about changes he’s going to to make. He’s already the most secretive GM since Stan Bowman so why would he dish any information to Helene and the pod squad?

Didn’t Blake say that Walker was coming back and a RHD would play the left side last year? I’d take him at his word. Anyone who thinks this guy is bright enough to send crafty, coded messages in his 2-3 public statements a year is giving him way too much credit.
I love that he said Cal was paid to be an NHL goalie. What an understatement. He was paid to be a starter on a playoff team.
