As a fan of a team that tried to deny that their time as a playoff team/contender was over, it seems pretty clear to me that the Kings run is over, they should try and get a jump start on the rebuild and start shipping people out this season. The longer they wait the worse it's going to be.
Sincerely,
A Canucks fan.
I'll respectfully disagree. Even as the league stands now while it appears to be a no go on paper, you never know.
Look what Pittsburgh did between 2009 and 2016, 7 years between Cups, retooling their team with a youth influx with the key pieces in place. (Center, Top d-man, Goalie, Crosby, Letang, Fleury/Murray respectively)
Like I said, if LA can get something done in the next 2 years, it's not too late with the core up the middle from goalie out, Quick (health pending), Doughty, Kopitar.
Sure, it's a long shot, but even a Kings team this bad, is a lot better team than the vaunted Oilers with McJesus. And they've been there before and know how to win it all.
And sorry about Jarret Stoll and Dustin Brown.
