King impressed all weekend. Obviously has a high hockey IQ, reads plays well, has great positioning with and without the puck. Like hes a step ahead and knows what he needs to do or where he needs to go. Great anticipation.

He seems like the type of player that will gel and be even better with higher (NHL) talent around him. He also won a lot of faceoffs. Seems like the kind of player ala Backlund that does all the little things right.

Has to have put himself on the coaches radar after these two games.
