Kings' Coaching Search: Shaking Up Offense
Description
Los Angeles Kings GM Ken Holland initiates coaching search, with interim head coach D.J. Smith in the running for the permanent role. Smith led a turnaround after a dismal start, securing a wild-card spot, but the teams defense-heavy style and lack of offense resulted in a first-round exit. The Kings aim to shake up their approach without a full rebuild, focusing on improving their power play and special teams. Two-time Selke winner Anze Kopitars retirement leaves a significant void, with Quinton Byfield and others expected to step up. Holland plans to interview five to eight candidates, aiming to build a sharper lineup for real contention.
