Video! Black and White: The Plan

At last month’s State of the Franchise forum, GM Rob Blake and Head Coach Todd McLellan laid out how they envision The Plan be executed. Building on a replenishment of youth within the system, it will lead to anywhere from 8-to-10 players making their professional debuts this season as the team strives to divorce itself from less productive, weighty commitments and provide the best incubation and surroundings necessary while venturing back towards championship contention. Via LA Kings Production, here’s a quick preview to tonight’s preseason game against Anaheim:


“My job here is to build a contender, and whether that be in the present or the future, every decision must be made with that vision in mind.”
-Rob Blake
