LAK: Rebuilding to Contend

Workshop 36 Recording

Today we introduce a new workshop format to the Hockey Tactics Newsletter, in collaboration with Ryan Lennon, a Brock Sports Management student and former OHL analyst.

The plan:

1. Ryan presents research on a relevant & timely hockey topic

2. We get together to discuss his findings

3. I dig deeper and share additional insights based on my NHL experience

The topic for this week’s workshop is the Los Angeles Kings, a rebuilding team that has amassed the best prospect pool in the NHL according to HockeyProspecting.com but that is projected to finish the 2021-22 out of the playoffs.

However, Ryan and I see a path for LAK to turn a corner and fight into the playoffs this season.

Here’s why.
