Jason Brough

Three-year deal, according to sources.

They are expected to announce this and have an introductory presser today.

Laviolette

His sort of claim to fame in all of his previous six stops in the National Hockey League is that year one on the job, they always has the big Lavi bounce.

He does a really good job of getting the team into the playoffs and then going on a run, and then it kind of peters out after that.

The shelf life isn't always huge on Lavi, but that first year on the job, he always does a pretty good job historically.

That might be important for a Los Angeles team, which, of course, next year is going into life without Anze Kopitar.

Very.

Ah, yes.

I don't know, man.

That feels way too reckless for any logical GM.
