No one in their right mind is going to say playoffs. Top 5 pick again, we will lose a few regulars by the trade deadline, some kids will come up and play well but will be offset by vets that know the season is a loss and most games will have minimal effort.

Luc and Rob are a waste of time and money.

F*** your ice cream!
We will draft 3rd overall.
I will leave work early that day and drink too much. I will consume some form of cow. I will pee on my shoe at some point in the day.

How could Blake have known?
Don't be so sure, last two years as soon as team had a small mini run (this year it was before Christmas) and even got within binocular view there were playoff posts.
BTW these numbers really show just how awful Detroit really is. Good lord. Wish they had been this bad when I was there.
In the beginning of the season around the first couple games of high scoring and first mini run I thought they had a chance of playoffs but also had fear of black hole. Now im glad to be getting a nice pick.
This season has been better than last regardless of standings. Last season I felt was a chore to watch.
They really need some high end talent that can win some games and spark others on the team to elevate their game. I wish Kopitar and Doughty could raise the compete of the other guys but they are maybe not the leaders they could/should be. Time will tell how they will learn to carry the weight of the rebuild or else you maybe ship out one and be better off keeping clifford, carter, martinez as leaders.

As of today, prior to game vs Flyers the Kings have the 30th place points % in the NHL. Of course Detroit is 31st place.
I believe Seattle is ahead of us too aren't they? It's Lafreniere or a total tank fail. 33 more games sheesh, draft lottery day cannot come soon enough.

Seattle isn’t coming into the league next season. They won’t be involved in this draft.

Will Detroit be eliminated from playoffs before February? Gotta be by the trade deadline.

Los Angeles Kings - We're Back!
Just for fun - there are only 5 players on the Kings 62 man reserve list who were acquired by trade from another NHL team. All 57 others were either Kings draft choices or free agents signed by the Kings. The free agents could be from other NHL teams, college, unsigned draft choices, undrafted players.
Can you name those 5 players without looking them up? There was one I couldn't think of.
