## Resource

The LA Kings face uncertainty as the head coaching search heats up—will Bruce Cassidy land in Los Angeles, or will Vegas keep him on ice? Eddie Garcia examines the tangled drama surrounding Cassidy’s future, with insiders like Elliotte Friedman and Darren Dreger hinting at a showdown between the Kings and Edmonton Oilers for the top coaching candidate. Peter Laviolette, Craig Berube and hot candidates like Manny Malhotra enter the conversation, while Toronto’s possible move for David Carle stirs the pot. Rumors swirl about Auston Matthews and Vincent Trocheck potentially joining the Kings, but is LA willing to pay the steep price? Patrick Laine’s name resurfaces as a high-risk target for offensive help. Plus, an outdoor game at Santa Monica Pier could bring NHL action to the beach.
