Kind of seems like a pattern. Former players are given the keys to the franchise. They can't quite put it all together on their own and eventually start looking for a sage management veteran to get them over the hump. Unfortunately the former players don't have a complete understanding of organizational behavior to find the right sage management veteran, they pick someone based on a faulty (won a cup / Hockey Canada / good rep from 10 years ago) premise, and everything kind of goes in the toilet.
Kind of sad to think this version of the Kings may have peaked two weeks ago with a round 1 game 2 victory.

Look forward to seeing what Holland sells to surround Kopitar and Doughty with some veteran depth for a few more runs.
