The 2011/2012 LA King’s were supposed to contend. They made the bid trade in the summer for Richards and had young and in prime players in Doughty, Quick, Kopitar, Brown that we’re ready to contend.
In December they were 10th in the west and fired Terry Murray and replaced him with Sutter. Lombardi did not stop their as he flipped Jack Johnson and a 1st to Columbus for Jeff Carter who was also traded by Philly the summer prior and was not happy in Columbus.
The team went on a run to clinch the 8 seed and then steamrolled the NHL playoffs.
Some similarities with the current Flames. Big summer moves and a young team had people expecting much more than where they are today which happens to be 10th in the West.
Hire Sutter and make a trade for a scoring forward and we will win the cup
