Kings hire Peter Laviolette as head coach

[MMC]

Would be an upgrade at least.

Weekes should just post photos of progressively more bizarre candidates throughout the afternoon

2:01 PM: Joe Pavelski
3:01 PM: Paul MacLean
4:01 PM: Mike Keenan
5:01 PM: Jim Hiller
6:01 PM: Scotty Bowman

Makes sense since they're waiting for a coach whos never coming (Cassidy). If the Knights allow him within the division then hes going to the Oilers not the Kings.

 

[Unspecified]

Coaching carousel continues! About to be his 7th NHL team

 

[HockeyVirus]

He's proven he can get a good season out of a team before things fall off. If the plan is to try and win before they fully rebuild this hire makes sense. Next year if things implode with him it's a tank move as well.

Strong hire.

 

[MrFrosty]

He’s a good coach, but not sure if LA is the place where he can get a career bounce

Im guessing the Panarin familiarity maybe had an effect here

Not if Vegas has anything to do with it!

Oh wait...

About as good as Holland could do, given no Kopitar and no access to Cassidy.

Good coaches get jobs

Lavy is a great coach. Safe hire.

Only people having that convo are Kings fans. The Kings will not rebuild while Holland is GM and might not do it as long as Luc is here.

Any rebuild will be on accident.

Vegas cheeks unclench a little, one less rival to take Bruce away from them.
