I really begin to question the GM talent in the NHL. These guys couldn't even realize that Dubois is a cancer, has ruined 2 previous team chemistry and decide to pay him $8.5M per year. The owners should be asking the questions about what due diligence do these guys perform.

I think this post shows a distinct lack of understanding with what is happening with the Kings right now. Yes, PLD is playing awful. Yes the trade for PLD was a mistake. The Kings' current struggles are not related to coaching or skaters on the ice. Their goal tending was a weak point they acknowledged going into the season and just accepted. They came out of the gate with their goal tending playing way above their expected level. The Kings had a fairly soft early schedule and were feasting on bad teams. Their schedule started getting more difficult and at the same time as the clock struck midnight and their goal tending turned back into a pumpkin. During this stretch, the Kings advanced statistical numbers are all still good during this rough stretch. They're still playing their game, they just can't out score their problems.
