The Kings begin one of their first phases of preparation Thursday when president Geoff Petrie meets with members of the Maloof ownership family in Las Vegas to discuss the state of the team.
Joe Maloof said Saturday that other members of the family might participate in the meetings.
"It's usually just Geoff, me and (brother) Gavin," Joe Maloof said of the gathering at the family's hotel, the Palms. "We usually meet two or three times during the year. (Minority owner) Bob Hernreich will be part of the meeting. He's a member of our partnership, and we value his input. Some of the other members of the family could be there. (Brother) George could be there if he has time, and my mom (Colleen) might be there."
Petrie said, only half-kiddingly, he enjoys the meetings "because there is a lot of good food."
