Not unexpected but nice to see that he’s wrapped up. King was a pivotal piece to the turnaround this year. Doesn’t get much recognition, but when he and Nolan were called up and played together on that 2nd line (Nolan would descend to the bottom 6 relatively soon) with Mike Richards, they hustled and won everything along the boards. That, and of course the coaching change, led to a definite change in attitude.
