The team said on Monday, the Kings of Los Angeles and Vice President/General Manager Rob Blake, mutually agreed to separate ways.
The Movement comes four days after Los Angeles's Western Conference first moved to Edmonton 2-0 in the first round series. The kings were eliminated by Oiles in the first round of playoffs in each of the last four seasons.
“I would like to thank Rob for his passion for his devotion and role to La Kings,” Kings President Luc Robitaille said, “On behalf of the whole organization.” He said. “It was not easy to reach this understanding, and I always appreciate Rob's partnership for the best for the kings. Rob deserves a great loan and respect to raise us where we are today. He has been an important part of the kings and will always be appreciated for what he meant for the franchise.”
55 -year -old Blake, since 2013, has been in the front office of the team. In 2017, the Famer Hockey Hall was promoted to the Vice President/General Manager and directed Kings to the 309-238-71 record and five seasons in the last eight seasons.
In 1998, a Norris Trophy buyer and Colorado sergeant and Stanley Cup champion Blake, played 805 of the 1.270 NHL match with Kings.
