I like John Stevens, but I was frustrated to see Dave Tippett become available so soon after a head coaching change for the Kings. I think he could have been ideal. Agree/disagree?

Disagree- Tippett is too similar to Sutter. Grind down system(loves his grinders),limits creativity and his biggest knock is crap with player development (young guns).

I would have kept Sutter if I had a choice between him and Tippett.

I don't know how Stevens will evolve as a coach, but I'm sure he was instructed to change things up abit on the offensive side
 
I don't think so. He's been able to do lots with little, but not much with lots.

If we're in the absolute basement and want to blackhole? Sure, bring him along.
 
Didn't we just fire Sutter?

Good coach but as others have pointed out...lost all respect for him after 2012.
 
That wasn't just a good Dallas team, it was stacked.

They had three 50 win seasons under him, yet he got canned the year after going to the WCF. That would almost be as bad if Sutter was fired after the 2015 season, which was discussed by the Kings upper management btw.
 
Is there another fanbase in hockey that clamors for former employees of the team more than LA King fans? Can't wait til the calls to sign Justin Williams start in a few days.

His name pops up on my Twitter feed about every other day, with someone asking could he return to LA.

For an organization that has been mostly **** for 50 years you'd figure we'd get as much fresh blood as possible.
 
You should have seen the way Punch Dongwhack and Gimper McGhee used to fly up and down the ice. When the wind whistled between their wooden dentures, WAY better than today's game. #leafsnation
