Blake is staying. Confirmed via twitter today.
Blake? Meh whatever. The last part is much more interesting. Moving away from the 1-3-1 is actually giving me a ray of hope going into the off-season.
This team is all about what they do in the offseason now. Who do they re-sign beyond QB (a must), which UFA(s) do they get or who do they trade for, who is the coach and what is the system. They've got players that want to fly but right now, they've all got clipped wings. I wonder if we aren't drastically improved come training camp, does Doughty ask for a trade...he's made it clear he's not interested in another rebuild or continuing to flounder.Blake? Meh whatever.

I don't think we will rebuild. Flounder is a possibility.This team is all about what they do in the offseason now.

Apparently not many repercussions... I hope Blake has an amazing summer for all of our sakes.“I fully understand the repercussions if this team does not win or have success,” Blake said at a news conference Monday, his first public comments since he fired McLellan last Friday.
Someone mentioned signing Dakota Joshua as a free agent and I’m 100% behind it. He’s a bottom six winger coming off a career year but his size and play style on the bottom six makes a lot of sense. Also adding him means you can afford to move on from Englund as an every day D-man. Hopefully replacing him with someone who can move the puck up the ice cleanly.This team is all about what they do in the offseason now.

Who's making the decision that they're moving away from the 1-3-1??? The GM? Shouldn't it be, you know, the coach? Or at least the coach together with the GM?Blake? Meh whatever.

Rob said they will look into it, not that it was for sure. Said that Hiller has things he wants to change and has a different plan, RB and Team will listen to that and decide to keep Hiller as HC, or look elsewhere.Who's making the decision that they're moving away from the 1-3-1???

I don’t get this take. Hiller didn’t have the luxury of making anything other than tweaks.Negatives:
-Didn't see anything that stood out as being Hiller's impact on the team system (appeared to strongly ride what McLellan has put in place)
What is your point?Stars were the #3 scoring team in the league. Averaged over 3.5 goals per game. #8 goals allowed.
The remaining teams + goals scored rank:
Dallas 3rd
Colorado 1st
Vancouver 6th
Edmonton 4th
NYR 7th
Carolina 8th
Florida 11th
Boston 13th
The Kings were 16th and 3rd in goals allowed. How’d they do? Winnipeg was 15th and 1st in goals allowed. How’d they do? Having an effective offense isn’t just about scoring 4 or 5 goals a game. Sometimes it’s the difference between scoring 1 goal and 2.
Kings ain’t winning sh*t until they improve the offense.What is your point?
