2019-20 Off Season Thread

Every team that doesn’t make the playoffs has a chance to win the top pick. Or the second pick or the third pick
No longer is it just three spots. The 17th place team can draft first if they are lucky

You can move down 3 spots

 

[LoCal Kings]

R shot defensive prospect Adam Fox not signing with Carolina. Seems like a good fit for a trade, either a pick or J. Quick. Shades of Jack Johnson trade 10+ yrs ago .

So they changed that this year?

2019 NHL Draft Lottery Set for April 9

So based on this, if Kings finish 2nd worst in the league, they only have 29% chance of getting a top 3 pick. That's actually not that great at all.

I think it is slightly better than that.31st avs/sens is 49% 30th is 38% 29th is 33% of being in top 3
People were complaining about tanking so the made it less appealing

How did Edmonton get so many #1 pix? Or, is this new draft due to them getting some many #1's?

I want nothing to do with him....he screwed over the canes and will likely do that the rest of his career to other franchises

 

[LoCal Kings]

I see the point. That is why Calgary traded him. But it's also why Carolina will have to trade him for under value.
In the end, Jack Johnson (who pulled the same thing) worked out well for the Kings in the Carter trade.

Kings’ coaching search at the top of GM Rob Blake’s offseason to-do list

Sort of a disappointing read. Toffoli quote that practices had become pathetic and no one is hungry anymore.

I feel like that right there speaks volumes.

 

[Kings4OT]

Still think mclellan ends up the coach. I really want to see the draft to decide if theres anything to be excited about.

Familiarity & losing breeds contempt. They need a coach that will light a fire under their spoiled asses.

Exactly, but C and A's are to blame for lousy practices as well....they are supposed to be leaders and hold each other responsible

Why does Carter still have the A? When he was hurt, they gave it Brown, but when came back it was on Carter's sweater again.

I'd rip it off in front of all the team, like a shame rip.

LMAO - I tried to find a .gif that had a patch/badge removal. I love the sword snapped over his knee. I should be 77's hockey stick.

Kings hired Luke Walton to be head coach.
Sorry wrong sport

Kings hired Todd McLellan

I think I would have liked Luke

Go Luke McLellan

I actually like this hire. He never looked like he was rattled, no matter what happened.

 

[Kings4OT]

New coach...yay

Willy had that look all season

Willy was given a bad attitude spoiled team. McLelluke had pretty good team in San Jose. Even after Kings came back in 2014 playoffs, he never lost his cool.
