First man on the forecheck every time. Though he doesn't hit hard, he battles on the boards. He's also a decent backchecker. Doesn't try to do too much with the puck.
He doesn't play a "wow you" game, but he plays his role. I can't say the same for Penner, and he's been put in every role possible to get him going. He has underachieved.

Being tall? Having a weird looking face?
Wow! Horses pulling a horse in a wagon. Never seen that before!

Love Penner (the person), but the fact that he's a UFA and we're nearly two weeks into the FA period and he's not been snatched up by another team speaks volumes about Penner (the player).

I predict that we let Penner walk. Give some youth their cups 'o coffee and watch the trade market develop as the deadline gets closer. We should have a little cap space to work with and plenty of serviceable players with which to trade.

That's what I'm thinking. DL has given him an upper limit but Penner loves it here so unless another GM comes banging the door down with money trucks he doesn't want to go.
His worth has to be at an all time low. Working against penner is that there were similar players out there on the market (Clowelol, Clarkson).

It would be pretty ****ing stupid to take a contract from us. From a business standpoint: we'll give him a very low, one year offer. With how these GMs are throwing around money, he could go elsewhere and get a multi-year contract worth MUCH more. Plus when he's done this year, if he stays, his value might be even lower. It's a big gamble on his part. Not sure why he would stay.

Penner needs a more open style of offense to get numbers. The Kings are too tight for him to show any of the skills he does have.
Or
He needs to develop new skills to make him more useful. One of the skills he could develop is the skill of more effort/energy

Are u referring to getz and fairy as the twins? That's hilarious if you are. I have a new line now when trashing duck fans. Lol.
LOL!!!! No way this is real. Notice the empty seats in the back of the
Duh-Wight King Bandwagon. This fact almost makes it real.

You made me spit take my cold beverage.
AGAIN.
That was too much really.
You should photoshop in a picture of Suter waiving to the crowd behind him. Or maybe DL doing his #1 finger pose. Or maybe Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off Or maybe Barney the Dinosaur, another big soft player.
Clearly he would be a perfect fit there, NJ wouldn't miss a beat with him taking Kovi's slot.

And Andreoff had some good things to say about him too.

It's telling when a prospect is looking up to a guy like King who just recently turned 24 a week ago and has quite a bit of playoff experience.

I admit he held his own in the lone fight he had to do in the playoffs last year. I don't think he has been in another, has he?

Held his own against a major heavyweight in Ryan Reaves as well in a fight this season.

The only way to really be disappointed in King is if you expected too much from him to begin with. I have said all along that he will be a serviceable bottom 6 utility player and he has at least done that very well. He has even at times looked like he should play a regular slot on our bottom 6.
He has a ways to go to get there but in the meantime he has done pretty well for himself all things considered.
I mean he could easily replace Penners O production in 82 games and is reasonably as good as him in his own end too.
I don't know but to me King is doing what was/is expected of him.
