King will be let go by the Canadiens the team announced Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

King was brought in via trade at the deadline last season in an attempt to add some toughness to the Habs' lineup. It seems the organizaiton is going to go in a different direction and will not retain the 27-year-old's services. The winger managed just one lone goal in 17 outings with Montreal, not exactly the numbers it was looking for out of him.
