NHL legend Luc Robitaille sends a strong message to fans.

The Los Angeles Kings cleaned house in a major way in 2017 and it seems fair to say that it was due to the fact that they were not at all pleased with the direction of their organization.

Charged with turning the team around is President Luc Robitaille, a National Hockey League legend in his own right, and on Tuesday Robitaille delivered a strong message to his fans regarding the future of the team.

Not only did Robitaille state that the team would be making a major effort to contend for a Stanley Cup Championship year in and year out, but he laid out what he feels has made, and will continue make the L.A. Kings a winning franchise. 

From the Kings' official website:

New multi-year contract extensions for Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson, both of whom are entering their prime.

A core group in Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty, Jonathan Quick, Jeff Carter, Toffoli, Pearson, Dustin Brown, Alec Martinez and Jake Muzzin that we believe is as strong, proven and dynamic as any other group in the NHL.

Full recovery and renewed health for Quick, Toffoli and Marian Gaborik, and the expectation that several key players will return to their productive ways
Upgrades in depth and skill with the off-season additions of Michael Cammalleri, Christian Folin, Oscar Fantenberg and Alex Iafallo. Plus, a significant upgrade to our depth in goal with the signings of Darcy Kuemper and highly-touted goaltender Cal Petersen.

The promise of young, emerging players such as Adrian Kempe, Jonny Brodzinski, Paul LaDue, Derek Forbort and Kevin Gravel
Additional cap space and a full commitment from ownership to spend to the cap.

A newly created coaching role for NHL-great Pierre Turgeon, who will specifically focus on helping implement an up-tempo, attacking offensive style of play.

Furthermore Robitaille also stated that it was the goal of the Kings to play a style of hockey that would keep the fans on the edge of their seat every single time they watch the Kings' play, and while it wasn't stated specifically, that may mean the Kings are moving away from the style they incorporated under Darryl Sutter.

Robitaille has set the expectations very high for himself and his team.
