Sunday venting and plotting open thread

Good morning, Insiders. 31-42-9 is the final record, 71 points the total haul. For the historical context, click here and scroll down. There have been quite a few bad Kings seasons! Of course, not all those seasons had similar expectations as 2018-19, nor did they benefit from a more liberal overtime point distribution.

The floor is yours! There’s no WUWTK the day after the season ends, so have at it until we reconvene Monday for locker clean out day. I’ll throw in $100 towards LAKI Platinum Membership (price: $350) to whomever can concoct the best trade scenario involving the most no-movement clauses. Thank you as always for hanging out, and enjoy your Sunday, Insiders.
