And you seem to forget that Eichel with a broken neck is superior to Dubois every day of the week. One of them gets you an extra $10M cap space and doesn’t actively harm you on the ice.

F-ing get up and hunt! Cmon Todd!
Lets compare legacy moves us fwd to a team like TB. They basically told Stamkos to hit the bricks - they realized he would hold them back from winning in the future. Rumors were he was offered 3m aav and he would settle for 4.5m but they didnt budge. He was like no thanks and signed with Nash for 60m over 4 yrs. To me that is TB wanting to move on from the past since that was quite the lowball offer. Thats the kind of thinking that would never occur to team legacy.

The Kings tag line for the season is legacy moves us forward. I’ve seen it on towels draped on the home arena seats. And it has its own url.

This is where the marketing dollars were spent. There is no connection to toughness, blocking shots, or sacrificing your comfort level to be better.
Management is down to their last excuse. Which was the very first excuse. That the cup vets are the #1 option available to once again be a winner.
8 years ago winning was defined as winning the cup again right away. Now, winning is defined as winning something very soon.

I bet they messed up with the spelling. They meant to write, "Legace moves us forward." As in Manny Legace. He's the one in charge of driving the team bus.
Wait guys what if they tried this for a couple games??
Turcotte - Kopitar - Laferriere
Fiala - Byfield - Kempe
Moore - Danault - Foegele
Lee - Thomas (Lewis) - Jeannot
Byfield can't play 1C until he figures it tf out - So play him at 2C but still set him up for success by giving him two very good wingers with lots of offensive potential. Turcotte and Laferriere have been the team's two best/most consistent forwards so you reward their strong play with an opportunity to play more minutes on the top line with a good/responsible C in Kopitar. That also gives Kopi two young wingers to look after which usually causes him to elevate his game a tad. Turcotte becomes the puck hound/playmaker, Kopitar brings the strong 200ft game & composure, and Laf brings some scoring touch.
Then on the 3rd line, those three guys are all slotted where they realistically should be. All 3 of those guys are perfect 3rd liners but ideally aren't playing higher in your lineup (mostly due to lack of scoring potential). Let those guys play a shutdown/energy role and if they score some points, hey that's great.
I don't love the idea of splitting up Foegele - Turcotte - Laferriere but the Kings need to find a way to get some of their other players going and ideally need to get Byfield back to center ASAP (even if he's making some mistakes). This gets Byfield back to C and promotes Turcotte into an elevated role (Kind of serves as a "hey sorry we're moving you off center kid you've been great but the rest of our team is struggling so we're just trying to find a way to mix things up").

“Legacy is never stagnant. It's a strong foundation, built upon with every new season.”
This is the deepest, darkest purple shade of koolaid that has been peddled by a franchise who is a founding member of the NHL HOF for propaganda.
hEy gUyZ. What if Jim Hiller was hit by a bus before tonight’s game, and someone let Kevin Fiala put together the lineup? That’d be bitchin’, right?
