Let me know your thoughts on this news
I am just whelmed
I hope the Kings hire Ron Hextall and I’m not a Kings fan. 😅
Ken Holland gm fire hiller get Stanley cup winning coach
Good squad- year in year out. The Isles only wish they had such a team.
Jim Benning is available.
3rd team in 3 years that the Oilers send into a rebuild.
I don't understand how you can blame Blake. The players are there. Clearly. Its the coach.
Blake to the Bruins
Bergeron is horrible and has helped Blake make some of these horrible moves!
Finally!!!!
The Dubois trade was a fiasco
it’s time for change. let a new gm come in and give the oilers a try lol
Rob Blake was fine but signed average players to fill gaps which was not good enough.
Ever since 2015 we've won FA with him… He was worse than Sam McMaster… Good riddance to bad rubbish…
I thought Robert Blake was good as Barreta but after that show he career kind of….wait. nvm
Rick Tockett.
Fire Mark Yanneti cause they havent drafted well with those low picks they had and Hiller kick out asap
Th can take the canucks GM he sucks
Spot on with everything. Good analysis and video.
Doughty contract was beginning of the end.
West Seneca NY native… Blake should be on the Sabres radar
Can the Kings please hire Patrik Allvin, he has done a GREAT job ruining the Canucks!
The Kings definitely need to go outside the organization for their nect GM hire – the 'old pals act' approach is not always a sound one, when it comes to pro-hockey (as the Robitaille/Blake axis frankly showed). For this reason, Marc Bergevin probably should not get the job in question.
Agree with your take on Jim Hiller, as coach, Mike. The Kings have kind of plateaued at this point in the team's development – a fresh, perhaps more tactically astute coach would be a likely big step forward for LA, at this point in time.
Interesting times, indeed!
Blake should have been removed after the Willie D fiasco. He has never had a plan, run through 4 coaches in 8 years, made numerous player personnel mistakes and created a mediocre team that can't be the same team in the playoffs once in 4 years. Glad to see him gone and now we need a full rebuild.
Now maybe the kings can exit the first round with Edmonton. The PLD trade was the last straw.
Worst trade ever.
Don’t forget Faber but he was traded lol
WOWsa!! This is breaking news, indeed–Kings part ways with GM Rob Blake–will be interesting to see who they hire as his replacement
One thing that team needs really bad for next is a strong Goaltender
At one point these were the RD the Kings had on their team/system:
Doughty
Roy
Walker
Durzi
Faber
Clarke
Spence
Grans
They now only have Doughty, Clarke, and Spence. Two of those guys they wouldn’t even play in the playoffs. In exchange for the rest of the assets, they received:
Fiala
Kuemper
Two years of the retained contract of Provorov
Great Video/Update Mike. I'd expected this coming down.
Having said this, I think that he was a bit of a scapegoat. Let me know what you think
They might want to give John Tortorella a shot at GM of The LA Kings. Let me know what you think.
So in other words, Rob Blake fired.
They havent given the draft picks a chance….And Luc and Hiller should join Blake
People,Fans have to realize the more teams Bettman and the money hungry owners create the talent pool gets watered down . Yes every team may have that "Guy" but after that its a major drop in talent .
Not even the best GM can draft a team , or sign players to build a complete team
Kings fans had cut ties with Blake back in 2001 when he went to the Avs.
The Avz…will line up a gig …watch 😂😂
Luc canned him ..😂 but maybe kings need to can luc…😂😂
