2015-2016 Los Angeles Kings...

two years ago,the Los Angeles Kings were the Stanley Cup Champions,and last season,when they needed to win a game,they stumbled to a 2-5-1 finish to a season that was a total team collapse... they have the talent to win the Stanley Cup(top six players on team offense,and defense are strong),but they honestly need team depth,on the back end,like most teams,and their goaltending is very solid,with Jonathan Quick,and Jhonas Enroth,both have NHL experience... they have traded well,and their core players are now hungry to wipe out their miserable season off their minds... example:the difference between the San Jose Sharks,and the Kings is simply that the front offices for the Kings,and the Sharks are polar opposites... that means that the Kings really improved,with the addition of Milan Lucic,from the Boston Bruins,via trade,and their American Hockey League affiliate(Manchester Monarchs-now Ontario Reign) won the Calder Cup(AHL Championship),last season(by beating the Utica Comets,four games to one),and the Sharks have stayed basically static,with an improvement of a goaltender,in Marvin Jones,who,amazingly,was the backup to Quick,in Los Angeles... Drew Doughty,Alec Martinez,Anze Kopitar,and Dustin Brown will headline the team defense and team offense,respectively,and with young players that showed two years that they were ready for the NHL,but had so-so second seasons... if the back end improves,the Kings may be Stanley Cup playoff-bound,after missing last season...
