Always liked the Kings; a gentleman's franchise. That all changes with Lucic. I don't think there's a player I dislike more. Actually, "despise," is more the word.
I was told directly from someone in the know that Chiarelli was fired by Neely because he would not move lucic. Neely wanted him gone. If they are not back in playoffs in 2 years Neely and Sweeney will be gone.
Hamilton was soft and gave puck away too much. Lucic will have monster contract year but will be overpaid by Vancouver come next year.
