With respect to Los Angeles, yeah, Blake has to live with the Dubois trade. A lot of people here want him fired. They have a Dallas-like setup with Doughty and Kopitar ready to hand it over to Kempe, Byfield, et al. Their bottom six and defense are good. I didn't love the Fiala trade at the time but who knew that Minnesota was going to get a Brock Faber that was this good. They had it set up pretty well if they just waited even with Turcotte likely busting.
Canes are well run, but like mentioned above they play like the 22/23 Flames. A bunch of shot volume from the outside. No star player to take over a game.

A Dallas like set up is great, but they will need a lot more.
