[Peter James Bond II]

thanks for the 16 games...especially the last 5 or so, when you looked awesome.
Oh well. Edmonton? Really?

Goodnight sweet prince

Goodnight sweet prince

Love Goon. #DougGlatt

 

[kovacro]

We hardly knew ye.

 

[The Night King]

Thanks for nothing.

 

[Reclamation Project]

This is for Ron.

 

[Omni Owl]

This is for Ron.

You guys should just kiss already.

Thanks Sekera, even though Wizniewski would've made more sense.

 

[Ron*]

Thanks for nothing.

This is for Ron.

Yeah, I'm pretty unhappy with Sekera. But to each his own. He had a legit chance at a Cup this next season with the Kings but chose the big payday to play and lose for the Oil. No matter how you shake all the Canadian rah-rah **** I had to listen to on NHL Network today, the end result of the OIL rebuild is still the same: they won't make the playoffs this season. Not in that division.

I can't fault the guy for going after money, but it also paints a picture of him: he has no chance to win a Cup in Edmonton. In those six years...well, maybe.

6 years and a NTC , ugh.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Well...bye.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

He left a mark on this franchise, just like Frederik Modin did.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Can't wait for Sekera Legends night.

$5.5M x 6 years was fair market value. Sekera got that in Edmonton and likely had similar offers elsewhere. Criticize the Oilers if you wish, but you're wrong for criticizing Sekera for "going after money". This is and will be the biggest contract of his life. He owed nothing to the LA Kings.

How am I wrong? Oil has a lot of holes, my friend. They aren't winning anytime soon.

So yeah...he went after the money. He certainly isn't after a Cup in EDM, that's for sure.

Plus an NTC. Guy's not worth that.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

I am glad that jinx is out of the organization. The Kings were 0-1 in playoff appearances with Sekera.

 

[Reclamation Project]

It's absolutely worth it to the Oilers. For the King though? Nope.

 

[Chain]

Meh.

 

[kingscups]

Thanks for the, what was it 16 games.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

thank you Sekera for that false sense of hope you gave to some Kings fans

other than that, i knew you sucked

 

[DocWest]

Will we have his legends night before or after Marco Sturm?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Before Sturm and after Hunter.

 

[Ron*]

Can't have a legends night for Sekera and/or Sturm without having one for Matt Johnson.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings couldn't have won a Cup without Ethan Moreau's contributions to the team.
