Blake is not to blame right now. DL was fired and left the cupboard bare for any new GM that was going to take over. Kovi was a bad signing. Please enlighten me how you think he is a terrible GM otherwise? Because he hasn’t traded certain players that you would like to see gone? It takes 2 to tango when it comes to trades, and right now players have the lowest of the low of trade value (unfortunately).
Blake tried to trade Carter last year. Nothing came to fruition. Look how long it took DL to finally pull the trigger on a BIG trade, 5 years. (Richards for Simmons and Schenn) then the Carter trade.
Everyone saying Blake is a bust GM needs to relax. Blake has put the Kings prospect pool back on the board with being a top 5 prospect pool in 2 years (last draft really boosted them).

I’d give him a chance at reshaping this team before calling for his head.

Just saying.

PS. I absolutely agree on the kings needing to go after Krug.

I think this next off-season will show us all what kind of GM he is. We all know he needs to go after a guy like Krug or another defenseman of that caliber (Krug, Petro, Barrie, ect) it's a very good defense FA. Kings currently have no top 4 offenseive prospects in the making other than Clague who is still taking awhile to develop not only defensively but offensively as well. Durzi is in sort of a grey area in my opinion.

What makes Blake a bad GM is the same for almost every bad GM it starts with the coaches you hire. Stevens, Willie D, and Todd who is not very good, but an upgrade over the last two.
Another is establishing a losing culture. Blake is a shark at heart and belongs there not in LA. There is a strange entity that haunts the Sharks that lingers with losing spirit and lack of heart. That is Blake and now we have Todd who is infected with the same thing. I don't like my Kings being controlled by Sharks at heart.

I know that sounds weird but I'm serious its real lol. He hasn't done anything either. He signs guys in free agency then trades them. Cammi for example. This next off-season will be a defining factor for Blake.

You do realize Lombardi and Sutter came from the sharks as well right? I think that mindset needs to go for you, it’s more of a grudge and I get that but it needs to go.

Yes but they didn't play there, but those two were a totally different caliber than what we have now. Sutter also spent more time with Calgary. Dean Lombardi is 100x better of a GM than Blake could ever hope to be. The mindset can go but it doesn't hide what's going on.

Yes. DL is a very good GM sucked to see him leave. But until Blake makes a Chirelli type move (trade seguin and Hall for next to nothing) can’t say he is terrible just yet.

Just be patient
