Los Angeles Kings and GM Rob Blake part ways

[Jee]

BAH GAWD THAT'S BERGEVIN'S MUSIC

 

[Turin]

The nice way to fire a franchise player I guess. He made some decent moves and some terrible ones.

 

[shello]

Bergevin?

Please

 

[Shellz]

Friedman linked him to my Islanders this morning, so I’m hoping this is some sort of sign he’s staying in LA

Plssss take him. No no no.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Long past time. Almost makes blowing the series to the Oilers worthwhile.

 

[BaileyFan]

There were rumors swirling all year that Blake was going to retire after his contract was up regardless of what happened. I think that’s what happened here, the “mutual” part of the announcement seems like something Luc tacked on to make it seem like he’s doing something.

I’m happy Blake is gone but we won’t see any of the changes we want until Luc is gone too.

... hopefully hiller is next ...

 

[hamzarocks]

Bad drafting and development cost him

 

[Little Psycho]

Bergevin?

 

[Oilslick941611]

Should have been fired after the PLD signing. How this was "mutual" is nuts.

 

[Sam]

Now get rid of Luc and Bergevin.

 

[Statto]

Bergevin?

That’s our greatest worry. He’s Luc’s mate and his arrival in LA (as a consultant) seemed to coincide with the start of the bad deals that were made. Coincidence? Maybe, but most of us doubt it.

Bergevin is a supremely good talent scouting, but it ends there

He suck ass at scouting, suck ass at negociating contracts, and is not shy at throwing people under the bus if necessary

 

[Little Psycho]

Don’t know how Luc has not been fired yet since he’s the one who approached Blake about the PLD signing

The Luc-Brisson-Bergevin trifecta will soon be realized.

The Luc-Brisson-Bergevin trifecta will soon be realized.

As if it couldn’t get worse.

He really f***ed things up, I liked how things were going before PLD. But he completely rushed things and damn

I thought he's been terrible long before that.

I remember about fourish years ago everyone raved about how insane their prospect pool was when in reality it was anything but.
They just kept everyone away from the big club so the hype stayed but as soon as most of them made the show, they were shown to be at best overrated but mostly they were just busts. Even worse was the dmen who hit are almost all not even with the team anymore.

Brandt is a fine player but way overrated imo and Byfield I was never a huge fan of and personally I thought was just a big kid that dominated because of that.
He's obviously a good player but has not lives up to being a #2 overall pick yet some kings fans have the nerve to say he's more valuable than Quinn Hughes which is just silly.

 

[TheNewEra]

DJ Smith still in LA? Thats Pierre Dorion music

 

[Mrfenn92]

Way too late.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

... hopefully hiller is next ...

New GM new coach is the usual format.
He deserves to be fired simply for that challenge

 

[Canovin]

LA following the footsteps of Calgary and Vancouver. One year after another

 

[eojsmada]

Now do Drury, Tulsky, and MacFarland!

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Bergevin will probably slide in as GM

But at least we won't collect Sharks' residues as part of our staff anymore, which was pretty much how Blake approached things

And Blake does have a punchable face, so him gone is definitely a +++++++++++

Bergevin will probably slide in as GM
