Now after you run Petrie out of town, who do you want to GM the Kings? Don't just piss and moan, offer a solution!

I think the problem is now, that alot of Kings fans are still hanging on to the past. No one will EVER look at Petrie's current problems when they think of the great years. But cmon..that was over 5 years ago! Yes, 98-04 were great years...but they're over. Stop judging Petrie on what he did THEN and think about what he has done RECENTLY. If you were working for a company and you were their best salesman 5 years ago and have been doing terrible since, there's no way you would still have a job.

But not even to that extent. If you were the best salesman 5 yrs ago selling all sorts of houses and bringing all sorts of commission into the company but recently the only houses your selling are 2nd, 3rd and 4th tier homes, your boss is going to ask you whats up. He's gonna say your dropping the ball. People arent coming to you anymore neither are they coming to the company for houses -- they're going another company.
You're mistake is that you're expecting Petrie to deliver palatial mansions while the Maloofs are only giving him the money to buy a single-wide mobile home (but, wait, they saw a power point presentation that convinced them that the mobile home was so much better than that expensive mansion).
