Scouting Report

Assets:	Has great size and the potential to play a dominating physical game in the corners (as well as in front of the opposing goal). Also has a little offensive upside, and he's not bad defensively either.
Flaws:	Needs to use his 6-3, 234-pound frame more to his advantage on a more consistent basis. Doesn't own a high-end skill level and his skating is merely average for the National Hockey League level.
Career Potential:	Big, physical complementary winger with some upside.

Impact

That's not bad, especially considering King had no points in his first 12 games. He is a fringe fantasy player in the deepest of leagues at this time and only because of his recent streak.
