It looks as though there could be a changing of the guard with the Los Angeles Kings.
Sources suggest that the Kings have decided that general manager Dave Taylor will not return in that position after this season. Some sources say Taylor has already been told by team's ownership that he won't be returning.
Taylor has one year left on his contract.
In nine years with Taylor as GM, the Kings have qualified for the playoffs just four times but only managed to advance past the first round once.
Taylor himself has said only that team president Tim Leiweke told him all facets and positions within the organization will be re-evaluated after the regular season, which ends on Tuesday.
However, published reports in Los Angeles earlier this week said that Leiweke has already spoken to former San Jose Sharks general manager Dean Lombardi, who is currently a pro scout with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Lombardi has also been linked to general manager roles with the Boston Bruins and New York Islanders.
Hopelijk blijft hij wel actief binnen de LA Kings en van Lombardi herinner ik me niet veel maar als ik terugdenk was het een behoorlijke GM
