I don't think it will happen during the regular season. He might get one season after this IMO.
Beckerman wants post season success.
It's very early but I think the Kings are going to the playoffs again and then its tough sledding once more.
Byfield and Fiala seem compatible. same with Laffy with KoKe.
Jeannot looks good and Dault makes linemates better.
Team toughness good.
So far Darc looks fine but its a long season as we saw with Talbot.
Since TMac was let go in season, if the team falters under Hiller, he would be let go and possiby Blake too.
Bergervin is waiting in the Kings wings.
He could be interim GM, or even longer.
But that might wait til the off season as you favor as well.
Losing Kupari and Iafallo doesn’t bother me. It’s Vilardi and the 2nd (Durzi).
Also, listen to Frank Seravalli talk about PLD. He thinks Dubois is horrible and it’s addition by subtraction.
I have been re-programmed and I am not sure what PLD is but I like BLT's
Durzi'd made too many mistakes like game 7 when he stood around waiting for a whistle and Edmonton scored the clinching goal, among many less
noteworthy gaffe's.
Ya Vilardi hurts but until is healthy all season and comes thru to help the Jets get to round 2, whatever.
The real positive is Byfield getting training wheeled successfully with KoKe.
And graduating to being Fiala's pivot.
Looks like your continued bird whistle for toughness was exposed, finally heard out there in the wilderness.
And it could be key to longer survival for the dog sled team and the individuals
racing it in the Stanley Cup Iditarod.
Mush!
Whatever moves Blake makes, I may express frustration or be happy.
Either way after that I am going to shut up and see what comes to fruition.
The thing I like is Blake is continuing to make moves.
Sometimes they work like Danault and sometimes they don't like Kovalchuk
Either way you have a clean bathroom or you flush it.
I definitely don't wanna take the chance of never getting to the playoffs like the Ducks recently or the Sabre's.
Full rebuilds are not the guarantee many make it out to be here.
hearing that blake got suited up, went onto the ice and had a 1 on 1 talk with PLD to show him how to 'battle' was the cherry on the shit-pie. its so embarrassing that he thought it would change anything about PLD's game.....did they not do ANY scouting beforehand?!?! regardless of how excited i am for this season, Blake better be kicked the f*** out come July
Actually it was a good move in many ways.
Blake was taking responsibility and going above and beyond, it says something to the team and the other individuals.
It couldn't hurt as the Hindenberg was already catching fire.
He could also assess BLT up close and gage his reaction when confronted, to help make a decision for a hasty dump before the NMC.
Say what you want Blake lays eggs, some are gold, or maybe silver or bronze but if they are mud he flushes them.
