Blake has said that Desjardins will be under consideration for the coaching position, but the Kings will take a hard look at more established candidates. Todd McLellan, former coach of the Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks, has been linked to the Kings because of his relationship with Blake when Blake played in San Jose. The organization is also open to up-and-coming candidates who could impress them during the search process.
