Kris King's Ghost
Thoughts on how he'll do in the AHL or how much time he might need there?
My gut reaction is to say he'll be the type of player he steps it up in the second half. I don't think he's going to come out of the gate on fire.
If he can make the necessary adjustments, I'd say the first half of this season sees modest success, followed by an upswing in the second half --- maybe 10-15 goals on the season.
Next year, I'd be expect him to be a key player in Hartford, and maybe get a look or two with the Rangers.
I wouldn't really expect him to seriously challenge for a roster spot for two years.
With that said, he plays with a chip on his shoulder and always seems to find a way to force himself into coversations sooner than expected.
