Later today, winger Dwight King will make his debut for the Montreal Canadiens. After 662 combined games in the Los Angeles Kings organization and 417 with the big club, this will be his first professional game for a team other than the Ontario Reign, Manchester Monarchs, or Los Angeles Kings. And while we’re excited that King has been traded to another team which will clearly value his particular skillset, and while we’re pleased that Dean Lombardi got something for him before losing him in July... we’re kind of sad, too.
I was at Dwight King’s second NHL game on November 19, 2010.
