There had to be a behind the scenes issue for Denault want out right away
One of the emails said this core;team doesn’t compete with top teams , actually the Kings are number one against the best teams win %, it’s the teams below them they have the bad record against. The Kings pretty much win every game when they out work , and when they don’t they don’t ! I think the Kings just need better fitness and accountability.
we have 4 years of 1st round exits…
Anaheim has 8 years of not making the playoffs…
screw the Ducks.
No Auston Matthews!
If someone doesnt want to be their, move them .. pretty simple ..
Idk I can’t believe Phil bounced on kopi like that in his last season
Toxic Positivity
Not that complicated. We have a stellar defense. We simply need one goal scoring piece to complete this puzzle
Byfield doesn’t like Jim Hillers system so he’s either trying to get traded or get hiller fired.
Need an entirely new management. Luc, Holland, Hiller. The signing of Holland and keeping Hiller after last years playoffs shows Luc sucks too
Your voice dub is off.
Until part of last season, and this season. Danault has played 2nd line center with the Kings. He has said in the past that he doesn't want to play 3rd line center. That's why he wanted out!
I don’t blame Danault. He started the season poorly and there’s always a risk a GM will trade you to a random team. Might as well go to where his family is. Granted I’m from Southern California but my dad is from Quebec so I could be biased. Habs are my 2nd favorite team after the kings.
Byfield will be better elsewhere. This team is not it. Don’t watch the games don’t go unless you a bandwagon on the trend la person
The team to look out for is San Jose. They will be a playoff team soon
Just gonna have to see how these next few games go.
If a player wants to be close to home Austin Matthew's is from Phoenix I believe and Jason Roberts who is a free agent next year I believe is from Thousand Oaks. Robert's and DE Boer, I like the sound of that
Hit hurts to see Stutzle being an elite player since the beginning 2021 and now in 2026 we are still talking about when and if Byfield is going to play up to his potential
