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

[MonkeysUncle]

Stamkos can play wing, and had 40 goals and 81 points. Think he might be a slight improvement over Arvidsson, might also get to play more than Kaliyev or Grundstrom.

Problem with that is he had 40 goals somewhere else and he'll come here and be turned into a 20 goal scorer, but Kings will pay the cost of a 40 goal scorer

Lewis was atrocious against the oilers

It looks like Blake has finally felt permission to not build around Kopitar and Doughty. The PLD debacle has dismantled that fantasy quite nicely.

Next season is shaping up somewhat nicely for the kids to get their minutes. Fingers crossed management doesn’t find a way to kick themselves in the nuts once again.

That's entirely possible given how this team has no clue how to utilize offensive weapons in a productive role.

 

[Docgonzo]

Hiller will take Stamkos and have him screen the goalie like Stevens did with Kovy and we’ll all scratch our heads very confused.

He's injured though and won't participate in on-ice activities:

Just a QO that makes sure the Kings retain his rights.

A completely random transaction I wouldn’t mind seeing is signing soupy to backup Portillo in Ontario. We fixed him once…we can do it again!

I'd be down for that if they brought back Dusty Imoo. But they won't.

Sad but at least he is over here and gets used to being around the organization.

It’s really important that he’s coming over. It shows intent on his behalf and we hopefully open his eyes to what he may have ahead of him.

 

[Telos]

A little bit surprised that they are letting Lizzote go. I mean, it was obvious that he had to be before they could actually contend, but he was really well liked, didn't perform too badly or was producing at a respectable bottom 6 rate, and I felt he had at least late to low pick value.

i mean, they could always resign him. I believe they didn’t qualify JAD last year but ended up resigning him.

They don’t feel Lizzote is worth the QO number.

Time for Kings to start wooing big time. There really seem to be alot of op th ions for Left D's that are hit6 the market. Do you think kings have interest in Pierre-Olivier Joseph. I hope they really look at a mobile Ld

His style of game would really fit in here, it's the best news of the summer so far.

 

[kovacro]

I'd be down for that if they brought back Dusty Imoo. But they won't.

I recall this from a few years ago when he was hired by the Lesfs who subsequently dismissed him.

Maple Leafs renege on Dusty Imoo hire, call decision a 'mistake' after Twitter 'likes' surface

The Maple Leafs have acknowledged a serious error in the hiring of Dusty Imoo after a collection of concerning "likes" were discovered on his Twitter page.

That isn't the issue with Lizotte, it's the arbitration rights that prevented him from getting the QO. They could of easily lost that case and been on the hook for over $2 million

 

[FSL KINGS]

Rumor on trade section that a team is offer sheeting Pinot (Ottawa) tomorrow.

Wonder if it's Bergevin again.
