Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on December 04, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Dave Taylor! From skating circles around opponents as a legendary Kings winger to calling the shots from the GM's office for nearly a decade, you've always been king of the ice—and paperwork. Your moves on and off the rink have left fans cheering (and rivals scratching their heads).

Here's hoping your birthday is smoother than your best slapshot and more memorable than those playoff runs you orchestrated. May this year bring fewer contract negotiations and more celebrations—because let's face it, you're already in our Hall of Fame for awesomeness.

Enjoy your day, Dave—you've earned it!
