NHL rumors: Calgary's flames want to extend Dustin Wolf and keep Dan Vladar
Gord Stellick: “Eliot Friedman joining us on the morning skate in the NHL. Well, let's talk about the team Connor McDavid eliminated and his team did it in the first round. Bot, there are eight new post-mortes and probably the most bitter pill to swallow, the Kings of Los Angeles.
SO Rob BlakeAnd apparently it was his decision. Apparently, they really wanted him to stay there. Do you think about this stage, do you think they find someone internally? Because it is a fairly tight group there, look elsewhere, and you think they somehow say, okay, we can come back to it once again, even if, at least we came home. There are so many breaks on this team. They made great movements. Where do you think when they sort everything?
Eliot Friedman: “Well, I think, and I looked Luc RobitailleThe event, where he met the media. And I must tell you, one thing you are right about Gordy, it is, I think that many people believe, in a very linear way, that if it was not Rob Blake, it was going to be Marc Bergevin. I will try to talk to him soon, just to have a little more clarity. But listening to this, I am less certain. He did not draw a straight line.
Now they also have other internal candidates. One is Nelson Emerson. Another is Mark Yannetti, but he has at least opened the possibility they look like outside. Now Bergevin is also a candidate in New York with the Islanders. So there were people who thought that one of the reasons why it may have changed it was to make sure that Bergevin did not go to Long Island. I don’t think it’s their first choice, but I think he’s a legitimate candidate there.
NHL Rumors: New York Icelanders GM Candidates
So, but I'm not as sure after listening to Robitaille. It seems to me, at least, and we will see if I am right on this subject, that kings will consider certain external candidates. I am therefore not also certain of the way for them before having listened to Robitailles to speak.
I think Gordy was really, as you said, it was a really painful bitter loss for kings. They had the oilers in this series, and they left the others out of the carpet. And once the oilers won the match 4, they really dominated the kings. As someone told me, in fact at night, that they really felt that the kings had been beaten in this series after match 4, it was such a shock for them.
And so we will see how this kind of defeat changes or does not change their future. “”
