Thread: Los Angeles Kings signed Bokondji Imama (1 Year / $735,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>There are many AHL players who can fight and play better hockey that could be had for cheap, don't kid yourself.

The Kings just hired Blake Bolden as a scout because she's black and female. She doesn't know anything about scouting, at all. This is a pattern in LA we've been seeing for quite some time. LA is a very diverse and liberal community. In order to sell tickets they have to please these people. It's common sense.</div></div>

Can you stop while you're ahead? Most scouts don't know how to scout: she was brought on because she has an entirely different perspective on the game than every other white guy that's been through an NHL's front office. The modern NHL requires you to capitalize on what your opposition doesn't know. Every edge needs to be considered. Bolden's an accomplished hockey player: good on her for continuing her career in the sport. I hope she's an inspiration for countless other young girls to chase that dream.

Your insistence on her skin colour being the focal point is inappropriate and it isn't tolerated here. Enough.
