## Resource

The Los Angeles Kings are in a critical offseason, searching for a new head coach to lead them into the 2026-27 season. Theyre considering at least five to eight candidates, including interim coach DJ Smith, and are open to both veteran and riskier choices. The team is looking for someone to spark offense and build a winning culture, with Craig Berube, a former Toronto coach with Stanley Cup experience, being a standout risky option. The hire could significantly impact the Kings future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
