The #GoKingsGo have to start merging the short-term and long-term planning into a single move, particularly since they have very little cap space and a now-recovering prospect pool. The #LGRW situation with Simon Edvidsson should be monitored closely. thehockeynews.com/nhl/los-an…

Forget middling. The team is bad. #GoKingsGo

-2 for the Dumoulin-Ceci pair. I’m 100% convinced just calling up guys from Ontario was a better option the giving those two $8.5 mil for 3-4 years.

Every puck behind the Kings' net is a crisis waiting to happen. Here they manage to control and advance it, only to have a keep-in at the blue line bring the play right back at them. Forsberg makes a confident stop.

It turns out: only one puck mover on the backend is a poor schematic. #GoKingsGo

Ceci in the lineup the #GoKingsGo remain undefeated.. scratch that— Winless. (Not to blame for the first goal)

I, Connor Doyle, can certify that the Pomegranate Ollipop is crack cocaine.

Another reason the Kenny Connors development could be significant. Pillar positions held under team control adds a whole new layer of flexibility for a team spent almost to the cap. #GoKingsGo

Out of the #GoKingsGo premium draft stockpile (2016-2021--top three rounds), here's who remains: Quinton Byfield (a 1C?) Alex Turcotte (the draft placement?) Brandt Clarke (1D while Doughty is in LA?) Alex Laferriere (A center?) Samuel Helenius Francesco Pinelli Kirill Kirsanov

Waiting for cap to expand, replenishing their prospect pool (last draft was a step in the right direction), and sniping at free agency might work out—to be middling or at best, a stomping mat in the first round. #GoKingsGo

I truly believe there isn't a cure-all move for #GoKingsGo. The best they can do is make moves that keep a competitive window viable for Clarke/Byfield moving forward. Adding a young player that ties into their age group and cements their core opens that avenue.

The Kings are getting healthier: Mats Zuccarello is expected back tonight and Kevin Fiala should return either Thursday or Saturday.

Pushing a story out about my take on this shortly. Good timing. #GoKingsGo
Detroit Red Wings interim general manager Shawn Horcoff says everything is 'status quo' with Dylan Larkin and Simon Edvinsson. Read more from Horcoff ⤵️ nhl.com/news/detroit-red-win…

Different seasons, same defensive core. Got older—Are these results surprising anyone? I will say, the only positive argument left: Fiala and Panarin are yet to play a game together + full health roster. #GoKingsGo
Same franchise. Different decade energy. Last year through 15: 16 points. This year through 15: 12 points and a 63% PK. We’re not “slow starting.” We’re broken. #GoKingsGo
