Speculation: Fire Rob Blake Blow it Up Offseason Thread (update: Robitaille, Blake and Hiller stay)

Ser4 OA - Hickey (waivers - no assets returned)
5 OA - Turcotte (time is a tickin'... 1 concussion away from hanging it up)
11 OA - Tukonen (traded for Clune... lol)
13 OA - Tuebert (hey at least the trade returned Pennercakes)
22 OA - Bjornfot (waivers - no assets returned)
33 OA - Kaliyev (Blake tanked his value by only playing a handful of games)
41 OA - JAD (waivers - no assets returned)
Which NHL teams have drafted the best and worst since 2007? Ranking 16-1
LA Kings ranked #16.
I threw out Kaliyev swap as I think he would excel in Montreal

F*** your ice cream!
or everyone can see how lazy the PR department of the Kings is
@All The Kings Men could you politely tell "the man" that we love the team, but no one is drinking the Kool-Aid?

F-ing get up and hunt! Cmon Todd!
Lets ensure the top 4 is bottom 1/4 of the league offensively for an eternity

As someone who has seen this question more times than I care to rememeber...
There are way more fans that want the answer to that question than are even aware of the issues that you have raised.

Maybe they would be more aware of the issues Herby raises and take more interest in them if interviewers posed those questions to various front-office personnel?

Comrade, are you interested or not in the summer re-education camp activities? Your fellow die hards are ready to put their dignity on the line for our eternal fathers Luc and Rob. Come be part of the family and celebrate at XMas, or voluntarily exile yourself to Siberia (aka go be a Ducks fan).
Yea and more people like McDonalds than they do quality food and more people listen to Taylor Swift than Miles Davis. Whats that matter?
And you dont even have to choose one question or the other. You can ask both.
Herby
How could Blake have known?
So fans who are downloading a podcast and setting aside an hour or more to listen to the Director of Player Development or the Director of Amateur Scouting talk, would rather know their favorite CHL or NCAA arenas to visit more than why the team has such an unorthodox player development philosophy? I know plenty of casual Kings fans back home, I would venture to say most of them have no idea who Mark Yannetti is, and only know Glen Murray as a player from two decades ago. Are casual fans really going through the trouble of listening to these guys talk when there are so many other podcasts to listen to?
I used to work in media for a college football recruiting site, and most of the people who listened, called into our shows, e-mailed us were not casual fans. They were pretty well tuned into the goings on with not only our program, but our rivals as well, we had very few casual fans. I don't know, I just have a hard time believing that it's Joe from Glendora who casually follows the team who is tuning in for an hour to hear Glen Murray and Mark Yannetti talk.
Plus, I mean couldn't it be possible to ask both questions? This is why people (including now people who used to cover the team) have this view about Kings media. I know you don't like it, and fight it, but it's stuff like that why people feel that way. You said that myself and others take what they say to literally, but what are we supposed to do when they say something and there is zero follow-up questions or zero push back at all. Was the question I proposed out of line? I don't think it is, it presents facts about players in the rest of the league and then leaves the member of the organization the opportunity to address it. What happens if that question were to be asked on a podcast, would it anger the person being interviewed or the organization as a whole?
I just don't know how a question like that, in an hour long podcast is seen as unimportant or not of interest to listeners.

I love the title, "A lot to build on" with a brick next to it. Shit! Other teams are building with cement blocks and the Kings are over here building with f***ing Logo blocks.

For Rosen too, between him and hammond getting to write pretty loosely to "LA Kings Insider" turning into basically the article accompanying a box score. And I like Dooley, no offense to him intended, he's clearly not intended to go off the script, it's just come a long way from Hammond to today's fluff pieces, the Black and White series is just more repurposed kool aid.
Such a f***ing shame they turned once innovative and award winning novelties into a fire hose of pure fart huffing propoganda

The Kings are building with play-doh, and eating it at the same time.

Nope, not Lego…..more like the generic Dollar Store Lego knockoffs.
I am a die hard Kings fan but this last run has me so disappointed and disinterested that I don’t even care if the Oilers win the cup.

I have never fart huffed but I wonder if that’s what Luc is doing to have such delusional thoughts? Frig if that’s the case it’s a lot cheaper than drinking beer to get wasted.
I can’t be bothered to even listen to that release if it’s just BS propaganda like everyone is saying and I and the guy that is craving Kings news and is refreshing the site every hour to see if Byfield’s been signed

Vocab word of the day: Consentient - its Queen's English for fart huffing. Used in a sentence:
Organizations not based on merit tend to be consentient.

Woohoo cannot wait for these guys back on the Reign. Another AHL run baby!!! LOL. With this coaching staff, who would rather dress 7 dman, how the f*** are they going to make the team. What a joke.
Let the insanity stop. Stop blocking young players who are ready and cost effective. Then use Roy's money on a real position of need, like Ld1 or Top 6 power winger .

From that article:Woohoo cannot wait for these guys back on the Reign. Another AHL run baby!!! LOL. With this coaching staff, who would rather dress 7 dman, how the f*** are they going to make the team. What a joke.
Based on our previous reports, the Kings are most likely working with five line combos as of now that look something similar to:
Dubois – Byfield – Fiala
UFA – Kopitar – Kempe
Moore – Danault – Laferriere
Turcotte – Thomas – Fagemo
Lee – Helenius – Lewis
I can't imagine them running 3 rookies on a line. Doubt Fagemo gets a spot. I guess the Mayor is assuming Lizotte and Kaliyev are gone.
8 years x 5M for Matt Roy incoming.

Oh you'd better believe Roy is getting signed for 6-8 years and Spence getting traded with Kaliyev for pennies on the dollar for both
Hell toss in our 1st while you're at it, maybe we can get luke glendening to play with lewis

Boy if they sign Roy and trade Spence, nothing has changed, that is unless Blake pulls a walllinder+ pick or Edvinsson out of Detroit . They then need to move Gavrikov to balance out Roy's contract
