Los Angeles Kings General Manager Rob Blake introduced Todd McLellan at a press conference in El Segundo today, where the new head coach outlined what drew him to the job in Los Angeles and what his vision is for the future.
Over a little less than half an hour, McLellan laid out what drew him to Los Angeles (no, it wasn’t life without winter), what his expectations are, and where he thinks he can take this team.
McLellan talked frequently of “the plan” that Rob Blake shared with him in their meetings. While neither went into specifics, McLellan said that the plan involves a timeline to return to legitimate competitiveness.
