Plot twist. We all thought it was a done deal. McLellan going to Buffalo now. Wonder who the Kings will hire then?
probably a toss up between Jeremy Roenick or Mike Grier

These bozos are professionals. You shouldn't need a coach to hold your ass accountable.
Let’s hire Hannibal from the A-Team.Someone with a plan would be nice.
Mayor tweeted 3 names to keep an eye on if TMac doesn't come here; Bylsma, Hartley and Roy. Not sure how I'd feel about that...

Patrick Roy would be hilarious after they ran Sutter out of town for being a bully.
Just write me the check. I don't care which team.Just shows how far down the popularity ladder the Kings job is right now. Any coach coming here isn’t exactly inheriting a team that’s inspired or deep at the moment.
Who would you rather be coaching? The Sabres and that core of younger players or the unmotivated guys we have?

Would rather have Jennifer Lawrence coach the Kings than any of those guys.
Paraphrasing a bit here but...

"We needed a coaching change... I shouldn't say Darryl didn’t like it, but he definitely would have liked me to be more serious in certain situations, but I just can't play the game that way. I like that I have fun playing the game..."

Kings' Doughty supports Sutter firing: 'We needed a coaching change'
Doughty, 04-08-19
From Rosen: "Doughty leading off the final media day of the season. He is in favor of a coach that would “kick our ass a little bit.”
It's pretty clear that the remaining pieces of the core won 2 cups in large part due to Lombardi's supporting character acquisitions: Mitchell, Scuderi, Greene, Williams, Stoll, & Richards. The majority (certainly not all) of the remaining pieces MAY still have some championship talent left in the tank but they collectively do NOT have the necessary leadership qualities that lead to a Stanley Cup run... at least not enough that they can pass on to the younger guys by themselves.
Can any coach out there bridge some of that gap? Maybe, but its on Blake to find the right mix of bringing in 3-4 kids with NHL skill, moving out 3-4 vets with term and THEN replacing them with 3-4 new vets with that missing character/leadership... that's a HUGE ask.
