@MarcelAndRogie @AStanovich68 Well when word (rumor ofc but still, it’s out there) is LA is not going to be a cap team and stay about $10-11M under the cap, gotta wonder if ownership is willing to pony up for a coach.

@AStanovich68 Having said that, there are only 32 NHL head coaching jobs in the world.
Money doesn't count toward the cap. There really are no excuses for the #GoKingsGo not to land a top coach.
Cold, hard cash can be very enticing.
English
I can’t imagine any coach views LA as a particularly enticing job. You’ll take over a mediocre roster with unrealistic expectations, sounds like a recipe for getting fired.

Elliotte Friedman: I would be looking at [Bruce Cassidy] in the worst way right now if I had any kind of a team; with Cassidy, I wonder if he thinks LA can win; to me he's gonna be interviewing them as much as they would be interviewing him - FAN Hockey Show (5/6)
English
@AStanovich68 According to Mayor he expects LA to be around $95M and that they’re not going to be a cap team this season or next lol..
English
A big increase just in time for a pretty terrible FA class.

NHL officially informs teams of the 2026-27 Salary cap and payroll range: Floor: $76.9M Midpoint: $90.4M Ceiling: $104M Maximum salary: $20.8M

@JWPatarino Absolutely but enough mind boggling things have happened as is 😭
English
@SCARFACE909 While I'm not going to take that as gospel, it if were to be true it's laughable from AEG.
English
@Thy_76 @JWPatarino @WookieWarrior96 @Hockey_Royalty @RandoCommando24 @NHLRussell Mayor said in an article that Cassidy is not being considered for coaching position, neither is Carle.
English
@JWPatarino @WookieWarrior96 @Hockey_Royalty @RandoCommando24 @NHLRussell is it that hard to get cassidy?
English
Hey @Hockey_Royalty fam @RandoCommando24 @JWPatarino @NHLRussell with 11 retired and only have 8 from the original cup runs I feel like a new Era is upon us. I'm getting tired of recycled HC so I think it would be good if the kings gave a look at Dale Hunter or David Carle
English
@TheBannermenPod Mayor saying that LA will not be spending to the cap next season or season after.
They’ll stay within $94-95M range for internal budget..
English
Coincidentally, “love” is the exact number of series wins the Kings have since 2014. Maybe Joel had tennis on his mind 🎾
Alexander Legget@LeggetNHL
Edmundson — I love this team. We have a really good thing in the dressing room. We all love each other and care for each other. Away from the rink, we're hanging out a lot. And you know, that's going to pay off in the long run. It gets us excited for the next couple years
English
@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy @AStanovich68 You know that it’s the GM who makes the 1st rd pick Yanetti and co pick all other rounds. At least that’s how it was with Blake and most NHL teams operate.
So Faber etc were all Yanetti picks etc
Scouts give their opinion and GM decides on 1st rd.
English
@AStanovich68 I had an epiphany tonight.
They might as well go for it and make the postseason as Yanetti and Co have struck out on all of their recent high picks. They can’t be trusted with a lottery win.
English
Let’s be honest, this series was always likely to be a waste of 8-10 days for the Kings. But at least they’re made COL work for it, assuming they don’t completely phone in game 4 they can walk away with their heads held high. At least as much as you can after losing in 4-5 games.
English
@TheBannermenPod Mayor has a hard on for McTavish since before he was even drafted
English
You’d be hard pressed to find a single statistic, raw or advanced, that justifies this trade.
Dennis Bernstein@DennisTFP
At the end of the new KOTP, I suggested a trade to the Mayor.....

@George02789416 @TheBannermenPod @NHLRussell The fuck are you saying old man
Your literally implying they picked Byfield solely because he’s black
Go fuck off
English
@TheBannermenPod @NHLRussell I will add 1 more thing.. the Kings have become so woke, led by the Robitaille's & are so into this BS DEI, they actually brought it to the ice surface. Imagine what the Kings would look like w/Stutzle as 2C confidently taking over for Kopi. W/QB getting paid, he's become lazy.
English
It has been a horrendous season for him. In a year when he should have proven he was capable, he’s left the team with nothing but more questions.
Noah Sher@noahsher44
Tell me one good thing QB has done in 4 months @TheBannermenPod
English
@MarcelAndRogie I agree but when you’re right there in the bubble and losing a HOF player as is, let’s just say I wouldn’t be upset if they end up in lottery contention.
Not advocating for them to tank like Florida is contemplating but I won’t lose sleep over it.
English
@SCARFACE909 At some point you have to actually try.
English
1 Pt out of the playoff spot.
Based on what I've seen since DJ took over, get us a chip and a chair & we have a chance.
#GoKingsGo
English
@NHLRussell I read Friedman article that said Florida is contemplating “load management” to finish bottom 10 for lottery pick chance. As much as I love Kopi, I don’t want to see him go out in a sweep or 5 vs COL.
English
Brayden Schenn to the Isles.
I was hoping for a homecoming, but it's not to be. 😢

You're in Vegas for 72 hours, but you can't leave the property you're staying at. All sleeping, meals, activities, etc. must be at that one property...where are you staying?
English
@TheBannermenPod It’s Kopi’s last 24 games or so, they won’t sell or purposely sit people.
English
This is the approach I’d want Holland to take here. Sell what you can, reset in the summer.

F Scott Laughton, F Bobby McMann and D Oliver Ekman-Larsson will not dress for tonight’s game in New Jersey for roster management purposes.

I'm not saying the fanbase is. Some fans might.
I'm saying former employees are.

@HostilePucker13 @jonnyrosen Pleasure derived from someone else's misfortune. Basically saying the fan base is enjoying watching Luc's strategies and philosophy on winning blowing up in his face.
