Player Discussion Dwight King

[The Nightman]

I'm sure Bergy would have loved to have signed this guy for 4 years. Didn't offer us anything though. Horrible trade and an even worse job done by our pro scouting staff.

 

[OldCraig71]

Don't worry fellow hab fans, there will be a new Dwight King to take his place once he is gone.

 

[sandviper]

Well, playoffs are over. He's a UFA and now he can GTFO. He never wanted to come here anyways. Not implying he sabotaged us intentionally... his lack of skill, effort and lack of obvious grit and sandpaper did that for him.

Yeah, really wonder what they saw in him honestly.

How they thought he would be a good fit in this lineup and style of hockey is beyond me.

 

[Born in 1909]

Wish McCarron had played over him.

 

[Phenom]

Worst Habs of all time. Disgrace. Go back to LA u slow ass pathetic untalented fat piece of ****.

 

[Bloumeister]

Stupid GM traded for a player that did no want to come here and now you guys are surprised that he is crap ... ?

0 points in 6 playoffs games for the gritty, physical, big body, hard to play against, playoff performer Bergervin acquisition.

[Uncle Gary]

I thought DD was bad. King made DD look like a superstar.

 

[1909]

Those 23-1-0-1 2PIM -3; will be very memorable. Glad he stayed in the lineup, well deserved, sign long term please.

Chad Kilger is like Wayne Gretzky compared to King !

 

[azcanuck]

he played so much better in the playoffs for LA

Looked completely disinterested in this playoff run.

Probably not among the worst 50 Habs of all time even.

Right !

And he will fly a.s.a.p. back to California to see his wife and kids, now. maybe he will just go straight from NY to L.A.

he probably had his luggage ready lol for a direct flight

As awful a player as Dwight King is, he wasn't the reason we lost. I hope we understand this.

Oh we do! We also understand that Bergevin wasted another asset on a useless player.

A conditional 4th which is worthless. I don't like MB at all but it's not like he traded Andrighetto for him.

They add up. 2 good 2nds for Shaw, 4th for King, 6th for Ott...

*conditional* 4th. Depends what that condition is.

The only one of those I have a deal with is the 2 2nds for Shaw and the subsequent 6 year 24 million dollar contract he received afterwards.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

The condition was it become a 3rd if we got in CF and King played 50% of the games. Otherwise, its a 4th.

well the point is if you don't draft anybody you wont ever get anybody.

Yeah it's rare to get a good player after the 3rd round but it does happen. IN the last 20 years we got those guys after the 3rd round :

Markov 6th round
Ryder 8th round
Halak 9th round
Streit 9th round
Grabovski 5th round
Gallagher 5th round

So that's 6 good players in 20 years. And the jury is still out for the last 3 or 4 of those years. So that's on average 1 good player every 4 years (maybe more if we get a late bloomer in the last 3 or 4 years). If you give all those picks for nothing it's not good. And well King and Ott are not much imo. Ott tried at least something that can't be said about King.

MB gives a lot of picks. There's no denying that. And the farm ****. That's one of the worst farm i've ever seen personally.

 

[LaP]

Chad Kilger is like Wayne Gretzky compared to King !

Putting Kilger in the same basket as King is insulting Kilger. It's like doing the same thing to Gretzky with Ribeiro or something like that.

 

[Miller Time]

Exactly.

Amazing that some people just don't get how cap systems work... Name of the game is asset Management. The best of the best get that and are strategic about every asset ( which is not the same as saying they win every trade).

MB has shown himself repeatedly to be poor at accumulating picks, managing prospects and wasting assets on players that contribute little or nothing before being gone.

He's just not a very good GM, at least not if the expectations are elite performance from that role.

No, it becomes a 3rd if he re-signs with Montreal. 4th if not.

 

[OldCraig71]

Sorry you didn't push us over the top Dwight as if a hockey player would ever be called Dwight, no wonder you suck.

 

[Beige Van]

I'd rather sign Dwight Schrute.
