[D’Amico] Sources indicate that Phil Danault has asked for a trade in LA. His camp hopes a deal gets done sooner than later; prior to the Trade Freeze.

  2. good for him man

    I think he’s probably cooked but he is a good dude and if he can get out of this shit pit of a franchise, more power to him.

  4. Good for both sides. He needs a fresh start somewhere else.

    Kind of makes me sad that we want player for player though. We’re not beating the likes of Colorado or Dallas. Let’s start the rebuild already.

  6. It got more over some how

    his points total plummeted as soon as Hiller took over. He’s even said in interviews that how he’s being asked to play and utilized isn’t working for him

    Like time to add Phil to the list of players Hiller has chased out of town

    Fuck this team, love you Phil 🙁

  7. One slow lumbering past their prime replacement coming up with a 6th round pick thrown in! LFG!

  9. It feels like every player who comes to play for us turns into their worse selves. I think the Kings have established that as a reputation and identity for them around the league and players with true talent and skill are gonna avoid the Kings like the plague.

    Right now the Kings are where talent goes to die.

  14. Fucking Hiller is eroding this team. Beat you more players are asking for trades, Kuzmenko, Byfield, etc. No one wants to play for this assclown.

  15. Hiller needs to go. That’s it. These guys need someone who believes in the players. They look like they are out there and being punished. Kuzy ain’t even celebrating goals anymore, just looks disappointed, and that’s our happy go lucky fun guy. Hiller needs to go now, along with the rest of the coaching staff. Stop the damn bleeding already. We lose Denault, Kopi, who do we have at center next year? In addition, it looks like Byfield may also request a trade. Remember Hiller blamed him for losing a game in the playoffs. Byfield also now has the mysterious Danault illness.

  17. Honestly, this scares me more than any rumor. This means that the LA culture is terrible and Dannault is a well respected professional. This means that there’s problems off the ice that can’t be fixed and this is massively concerning.

  18. REMEMBER: Hiller blamed our playoff loss on Byfield last year

    Byfield is also magically “sick” along with Danault

    I feel like the players are revolting against Hiller, as they should.

  20. Get rid of everyone in a management position, get rid of Hiller. Stop wasting our time and blow it all up.

  21. I mean he’s dead weight at this point but hopefully this is more ammunition that Hiller is destroying the team and expedites his departure

  27. Hiller should’ve been fired at the end of last season. I knew he wasn’t the guy when he made those stupid comments about the coach’s challenge at the postgame interview after game 3.

  29. My wife thinks the forwards haven’t been scoring as a way to rebel against Hiller and the organization, first i thought she was crazy, now i think she is right.

  32. I mean he definitely has not helped the team with acquiring anyone with his play, which may be related to the coaching. I mean at this point sell every asset we have, tank and hope for the #1 pick I guess.

  33. It’s time for Hiller to get the boot. I don’t know why this franchise is still in love with him and his one mediocre season as a player and one mediocre coaching season. Thanks, Rob and Luc for setting this team back five years.
