Who the f*** is Trevor Moore?
I think Lombardi felt he was overworked to the point of no return with LA and he had finally gotten over the career hill so he just chilled out.

Blake should've given LA more ammo than just Kuzmenko at deadline.
Imagine if he loaded up a bit more with let's say a Carlo on D and someone like Pageau up front.

We may be in a rebuild, but we've won a playoff series more recently than you guys have

Also, he won two Cups, so there wasn't anything more to achieve than to just do it again, and the chances of that were slim, so why bother? I think that it's like how James Cameron didn't direct for over a decade after Titanic and, instead, did other things.

Yeah I guess he must just not want that job anymore because of all the retreads, he has the best resume, seems odd that no one would go for him.

Dean never liked the non-hockey related stuff a GM has to deal with. That’s why he likes scouting cuz you just have to worry about hockey in that role.

The role of GM has evolved as far as expectations, and Lombardi just doesn't want to do it.

Maybe it's time to bring the multi-sport extraordinaire, Ralph Kreuger the Guru and let him be both GM and Coach....All hail Ralph !

Mike Futa was asked on X yesterday if he would throw his hat into the ring for the job and his response was:
As Co-Director of Scouting, he was involved in building the Kings' Cup-winning teams, but hasn't been with the organization since 2020, so he has the credentials and organizational connection while having nothing to do with the current issues that Blake and Robitaille are responsible for. He would probably be my pick, and John Hoven speculated that Lombardi might be willing to act as his senior advisor, which would be even better.

Probably addressed in the thread already, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was like with Pittsburgh several years back where everyone though Bylsma was gone, but they fired Shero, and then the new GM immediately fired Bylsma.

I think when he had more energy and more importantly, spirit and the roster he built, he was ready to keep going. But I'm sure the two Cups after the fact gave a lot of people around him the excuse to, why bother, you're already the a 2 time etching.
Bergevin can trade, he can’t draft and develope to save his life. Bergy likely kissing luc’s butt trying to be all buddy buddy and have that French connection to weasel his way back into the GM game. Bergy is a con artist luc, dont fall for it.
