## Resource

The LA Kings are in a deep slump, missing the playoffs for five straight years and winning just eight games in that span. Despite adding veteran forwards this summer, their defense remains a glaring weakness, and with limited cap space, they’re stuck in a tough spot against a rising Pacific Division. With no clear path to contention and a roster that’s more stopgap than solution, the Kings look like a fringe playoff team — and missing the postseason again could be their fate.
