Under the former star defenseman, the Kings made five postseasons but failed to advance, including Thursday’s ouster by Edmonton for the fourth year in a row

The Kings and long-embattled general manager Rob Blake have mutually agreed to part ways, the team announced Monday, four days after the team’s fourth consecutive first-round playoff loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

The Hall of Fame defenseman, who notably won the 2002 Stanley Cup alongside Patrick Roy with the Avalanche, had been in the Kings front office since 2013 and had been general manager since 2017.
