I don't necessarily have an issue with Todd. He's trying to make the playoffs so it's understandable to a degree why he deploys his lines the way he does. Coaches tend to rely on their vets.

But Rob Blake is a nut sack of a GM and the sooner he's gone the better. And Robitalle hopefully goes with him.
 
The thing with Blake is that he isn't seemingly building this team to be anything more than a playoff team. At least Lombardi was building it with the mindset of being a cup contender. The jury's still out on Blake. If our crop of prospects fails, I think you put him out of his misery. If byfield,turcotte and vilardi become stars then I think you hail the chief. And of course if those players perform then I think you have a contender on your hands.
 
IF a big IF, ownership cuts ties with BLuc. Who’s available that can this ship around?
Bring in an experienced Pres of Hockey for X's & O's. Pens old GM would work.

Then we need someone that will lay it all on the line to win. No more coasting. No more soft playing & getting pushed around. Killer instinct. What's Richard's doing right now?

Gorton. Said it once he was let go from the Rangers, he was an asset we could of used at this stage of the rebuild, sort of the Futa role until Blake gets tossed. But as we know that ship has sailed.

Dean Lombardi or Jim Rutherford.

Dean really shouldn't have been fired in the first place. IMO he earned a chance to fix the Kings, instead Luc and company tossed him aside like a broken toy.

I want to hear Blakes reasoning of losing Clague for nothing, yet keeping Matta on the team. It makes no sense.

Dean was broken, he couldn't stop making bad decisions
 
I don't think they have the balls and I also am worried he tries to Dave Taylor his way out of it by doing something stupid like Vilardi + 1st for a vet

That would suck, but this is the one thing I'm actually not too worried about. If anything Blake seems too patient/hesitant to pull the trigger. When is the last time the Kings have traded a prospect? Zac Leslie? My beef with Blake is he's stuck to compiling prospects too much for my liking.

If Luc stays he’d probably hire Al Murray back.

If not, hopefully hire someone retired to consult on the management search. However, I don’t trust AEG. They’d probably hire Gretzky.
 
First, I can see Luc giving himself the President and GM title - IF AEG either decides to not renew Blake's contract or gives Luc a warning.

With coach Q out now, I believe TMac is the highest payed coach in the league at 5 million a year, which is absolutely wild to me. No cup win or even a final appearance. He has made the playoffs just once in the past 6 years and constantly underperformed when he actually made them(I mean we saw that first hand with the reverse sweep).

Can you imagine if back in summer of 2014, you went to see a fortune teller and ask them if they can tell you who would be on the Kings roster in 5 years and who would be the head coach in 5 years time?
reckon my blood pressure would probably be several points lower cause i wouldn't have been watching this treadmill of crap
