Earlier this offseason, various rumors and discussions surrounding the organization turned up the heat on the speculation that the Los Angeles Kings could make changes to the coaching staff and the front office, including replacing head coach Jim Hiller.
Jim Hiller's seat is hot for the Los Angeles Kings going into the 2025-26 season
The Kings ended up replacing former general manager Rob Blake with Ken Holland early in the summer months. This came after Blake was with the organization serving in various roles for over a decade (since the 2013-14 season).
Holland probably expects Hiller to be delivering on results in the standings in the Pacific Division a few months into the upcoming regular season in the 2025-26 campaign.
