Today, Jon Chik from Locked On Rangers joins me as we discuss the following topics:

1. Why are the Kings mired in mediocrity?;

2. Does it make sense to keep veteran players around rather than go full scorched earth on your roster, and

3. My secret shame of kind of rooting for the Rangers in 2014 (I'm sorry!).

All that and more on today's episode of Locked On Los Angeles Kings, part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
