## Resource

The Los Angeles Kings face a pivotal offseason as trade rumors swirl around veteran goalie Darcy Kuemper. Will GM Ken Holland move on from the former Stanley Cup winner to reshape the Kings’ goaltending tandem? Kuemper’s recent inconsistency and salary spark questions about his future, while Anton Forsberg and Eric Portillo await larger roles in net. Eddie Garcia evaluates potential trade scenarios, the Kings’ goaltending depth chart, and which NHL teams could land Kuemper. The episode also spotlights LA’s head coaching search, with interviews reportedly held with Jay Woodcroft and Peter Laviolette. Plus prospect Jared Woolley is now heading to the Memorial Cup final. How will these decisions impact the Kings’ path back to contention and open up playing time for rising stars?
