Obviously I don't mind the trade at all but man ..
Brayden Schenn would've made an awesome LA King.

Eddie Garcia on Locked on Kings went to the Lunch with Luc season ticket holder event and gave some highlights about what was discussed:
Some highlights that got my attention:
Some highlights that got my attention:
- Said that Philip Anschutz has given pretty much a green light to sign, acquire, or spend on any player/superstar they bring up to him, and when asked if they were going to spend up to the new upcoming caps of $95.5M, $104M, and $113.5M he said: "we have to".
- They are expecting to have about $5M to play with at the trade deadline and are targeting a physical forward, pretty much a gritty 20+ goal scorer.
- This front office is leaning hard into data and analytics and are using something called "The Crown" that he assumed was a software/program. They've said this before, but I still find it interesting and am wondering if they are leaning too hard into the Moneyball aspect.
- The team is going back to 11/7 when Mikey Anderson returns.
- The team wants to keep Gavrikov and Anderson together and move Doughty to the 2nd pairing when Mikey returns.
- Luc is intentionally scheduling games at 5PM and earlier on Saturdays because some times play those against us back-to-back against Anaheim and he wants a competitive advantage by giving them less rest. Apparently, Yzerman complained about this. The rest of our Saturday games are 5PM or earlier and all of them have a day of rest before them for the Kings.
- Also Luc said before the start of the 3rd period during Game 1 of the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals, Gretzky told the team in the locker room to check the curves of their sticks to make sure they didn't have an illegal curve. That's the first time I heard that story.
