Los Angeles Kings: After firing Marc Crawford, they still need a coach, preferably one who has a lot of patience because that's what it's going to take with a team that continues to look to the future without worrying much about what happens in the meantime. The Kings will be even younger this season after letting Blake and Jon Klemm go to free agency and trading offensive-minded defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky to Edmonton. The return was a center of nominal ability in Jarret Stoll, and two hard-nosed defensemen in Matt Greene and Denis Gauthier; neither is a real difference maker. The biggest unresolved issue continues to be the lack of a clear No. 1 goaltender, something Los Angeles GM Dean Lombardi didn't seem too eager to address this offseason. Lombardi got burned last season with his free-agent moves, so this summer he has gone back to his favorite formula of drafting and developing. Given the high picks the Kings have had in recent years, that could pay off in the near future. But by then, will anyone in Los Angeles notice?
