This isn’t based on any rumors, or whispers, or speculation. I don’t have sources. It’s stating the obvious at this point; the Kings, one of hockey’s elite teams for the first part of the decade, are starting down their second ninth-place finish in three years, and in a situation like this, fingers are going to be pointed at the coach. More to the point, though, coaching in the NHL is a business where longevity is the exception, not the norm. Case in point: Sutter is currently the third longest-tenured head coach in the NHL, and only eleven coaches have been at the helm of their current team for more than two seasons.
Is There Precedent for the Kings’ Darryl Sutter Decision?
