I voted for the Kings, and that's because I'm a Kings fan. But I'm facing the reality, it is very unlikely the Kings will make the playoffs. It would be nice, but I don't think it is realistically going to happen. They started in the right step by cleaning house. I am kind of tired of seeing them score only 1 goal per game (if that). They hired an offensive coordinator which will hopefully help bring that up. Realistically, the only way the Kings are making the playoffs is if Kopitar puts up 65+ points, Carter puts up 60+ points, Doughty just does his thing, Quick has a full season with 37+ wins, and the biggest thing of all, the kings need secondary scoring out of guys like Toffoli, Pearson, Kempe, Lewis, Brown, etc. Also this is just me saying this but I think everyone underrates Muzzin.
With that said, all of this can happen, but they need to go out and get a 2nd line center. This would allow Carter to play the wing with Kopitar at center. The ideal situation would be for Vilardi to play that second line center so they don't need to give anyone up. That being unlikely, I would like the Kings to trade either Muzzin or Martinez for a guy like Adam Henrique.
