Dwight King

Prospect Grade: 6.5 D  (About Prospect Grades)

Profile Contributed By: David A. Rainer

History

Selected with the choice acquired in the trade of Craig Conroy to Calgary.

2006-07: King finished seventh on the team in scoring with 44 points, up from 16 during the 2005-06 season, with an added 38 penalty minutes.

Talent Analysis

King is a well-built left wing that plays a physical and gritty style.  Possess a great 6'3 frame that carries a tremendous amount of weight well.  His offensive game must catch up with his physical stature and has the raw skills to be a future power forward.

Future

King is already a physical specimen and has raw offensive skills to go with it.  The WHL is known for developing physical forwards and this league suits King well.  His highest potential is as a power forward in the top six forward rotation and, at worst, can be a physical grinder on the third or fourth lines.
