Bruce Cassidy: LA Kings Top Coaching Target Amidst Rebuild

The Los Angeles Kings, fresh off another first-round playoff exit, are in search of a new head coach for the 2026-27 season. NHL insiders Dennis Bernstein and David Pagnotta report that Bruce Cassidy, a sixty-year-old coaching veteran with a Coach of the Year award and a Stanley Cup win under his belt, is high on their list. Cassidys impressive resume includes a Presidents Trophy win and a successful stint with the Boston Bruins. However, the Kings struggles extend beyond coaching, with a history of playoff failures and a need for a rebuild, especially with Anze Kopitars retirement. Major offseason moves are expected if the Kings can secure Cassidy, who is also a target for other teams.
