The LA Kings face major questions as Bruce Cassidy’s coaching future takes center stage. With conflicting reports swirling about Cassidy’s interview status, Ken Holland may have to battle the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers for the Vegas Golden Knights’ bench boss. Meanwhile, Craig Berube’s sudden availability shakes up the LA Kings’ coaching wish list—who will be behind the bench next season? Up front, the Kings’ top-six center hunt will not have Charlie Coyle as an option as he re-signs in Columbus, leaving veteran Evgeni Malkin the best available option? Special guest Anthony Colazzo breaks down which Ontario Reign prospects like Andre Lee and Angus Booth are most likely to break through and how head coach Andrew Lord is building NHL-ready talent. Can LA’s pipeline deliver or is a splashy move the only answer for the Kings’ playoff aspirations?

That would be a Kings move, sign a 39 year old, smh. Is Gordie Howe still available?
Very interesting watch about how we got here and wasted the "No.1 Prospect Pool in the NHL" —> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6FIvJpjg9c
Might as just let Matt Greene coach the team, not going to
Make playoffs anyway
There is no way in Hell, that the NHL would ask/force a team who is still in the playoffs to let the former coach, which they still have on payroll, talk to other teams.
Once the Knights are out of the playoffs they will let Cassidy talk to whomever he wants, to get him off the payroll.
Knoblauch now available too. Malkin ain't coming here.
I hope whoever gets the job they will do a great job
Berube has won a cup…. just sayin.
Nope, nope and nope.
Oh YES! Please, Please, PLEASE Hire Chief Craig Strongbow! Says every Pacific Division rival.
