A trade for a #1 goalie at the deadline that could have drastically improved our playoff success given how much Elliott let the team down.
Sure it may have/would have helped...but again it wasn't Kings decision, it wasn't his money on the line. He is strictly the guy in charge of the business side of things and at times the hockey and business side of things have to collaborate and agree on situations. It stinks for fans but no question its part of the deal on any team in the league.

If there are situations where ownership are making the hockey decisions, then there is a major problem. I just dont see that happening here.....like it had been happening in Edmonton prior to Bob Nicholson taking over.
