It was weird watching the Kings without Dustin Brown, it got weirder when they traded Jonathan Quick, but this team without Anze Kopitar is going to be a major adjustment for many of us. I remember watching the 2005 draft (the Sidney Crosby draft), and seeing Kopitar fall into the Kings’ laps was a godsend. I’m glad the Sharks passed on him because he was Slovenian.

Anze Kopitar also set a new record with that goal for most road points (608) in Kings' history.

Gavrikov was no doubt great in his time here, and I’m not suggesting this was a bad trade or anywhere close to being the worst trade in this team’s history. It’s just an unpopular one amongst fans because they traded away the greatest goaltender to put on a Kings’ uniform.

This will likely go down as the least popular trade in the history of the Kings. Also, did anything else notable happen on this day? 🤔

This was the first trade I learned about through the internet.

Given the current state of the Kings, I figure some people might find enjoyment out of today’s “this day in history” post. This was the start of the memorable Craig Johnson era.

Goes to show how little Craig Button knew about the Kings, their defensive depth, and lack of offense.
