On this episode the boys are joined by the man who assembled one of the most dominant teams in the salary cap era, former LA Kings general manager Dean Lombardi. The Kings went from a middling team to 2-time Stanley Cup champions under his watch. He cleared house, leaving only one player remaining from before his arrival: Dustin Brown. Lombardi also spent time in San Jose as GM and VP of Hockey Ops, managing competitive San Jose Sharks teams, and is currently with the Flyers organization as a Senior Advisor. We dive into stripping Brown of his captaincy, some “almost trades”, dealing with the notorious Jarret Stoll and Slava Voynov incidents, and much more. Before the interview, the boys analyze the World Junior results, Torts' colourful comments regarding the always-scrutinized NHL All-Star Game, the Florida Panthers being a let down, and much more. 2023 is here and the boys are ringing in the new year with some energy alongside the architect of some legendary LA Kings teams.
