Yes.
You think that progress is measured in games won. That is tiny, little picture stuff and inconsequential coming out of a rebuild. If this was a veteran team without the abundance of kids earned by years of poor veteran performances then yeah, maybe you consider taking a lousy team to 7 games as a step forward. Then sure, bring in a Fiala to solve a problem. But this team has 5 or 6 problems to address before transitioning into a contender and not only have they not addressed those problems , they created even more with this ridiculous lineup configuration that was awful on paper and equally awful on ice, and they won't address it at all.
Progress here will be measured by how well the fruits of the rebuild are integrated into the lineup to replace what is clearly not working. Buying a 2nd line with the cap you cleared out was good enough to get into the playoffs, but no, there was no actual progress. This is the same team with the same key figures who weren't good enough to win more than 1 lousy playoff game in 7 years. The Kings are not going to win anything with Kopitar, Doughty and Quick at 80% (generously) of their previous impact and STILL getting the important situations. It’s clearly not good enough, there is a potential solution with a good likelihood of success already in the organization but they won't use it so the moldy oldies can keep chasing their tails.
That was a truly pathetic game ending pass.
