50% of the blueline is brutal, and there is an overall lack of intensity on this roster. These guys no longer play with an edge or “swagger.” They’re playing with their peens tucked between their legs.

Reactions: King Trouty
Youth Movement doesn't mean put you kid on the can and walk away, We could use a mini rebuild. Off with their heads!

Alright, maybe just do what we should have done when we finally saw the writing on Suters face and that is a complete coaching rebuild. We are loaded with talent but it sure doesn't look like we know what to do with it.
 
Pierre Dorion is loving what Kings shooters are doing for Anderson’s trade value
 
3 of 4, which makes it 9 of 11 for the season if I'm adding right.

Doughty has not been on the ice for any situation goal against yet.


Talent.

Forbort, Muzzin, and Martinez can get shot into the sun as well.


This team actually is talented all things considered.

They went from a coach who busted their balls way too much to a coach who fondles it way too much instead.


They need someone in the middle
 
They seriously need to just consider rebuilding at this point.

With what? The contracts are too big. There's nobody to trade for anything. Cap space is too important. If Carter was a UFA, he could easily be dealt, but he's not. If he was 27 again, you could deal him. He's not bringing back the next top young player for the team though. Every other GM knows the Kings have 1 playoff win since 2014. They know Blake is trading from a position of weakness.

Disagree. Loaded, meaning more than a few players? Having some talented players , isn't loaded with talent. This team has lacked a pulse for over 4 years now. Leadership missing, no identity and definitely no swagger.
There is no intensity, no hustle, nothing. Bad decisions, lack of confidence. The power play is embarrassing. Coaching is partially to blame, but the players at some point, have to man up, and look in the mirror. Way too many easy mistakes, and too often.
The youth is fine , for ,most young players, they hit their stride past the 200 game mark. And they have drafted some good kids in the last couple drafts and have some good stock in the farm. But (other than DD) an aging core who appear to have no desire.
I'm wondering what wheels, if any, the front office has in motion and how long they wait.
