excerpt:
Eishockey DEL Mannheim
Adler Mannheim verpflichten Kanadier Jason King
Die Adler Mannheim haben für die neue Saison den kanadischen Stürmer Jason King unter Vertrag genommen. Dies teilte der Club der Deutschen Eishockey-Liga (DEL) mit.

Google translation:
DEL hockey Mannheim
Adler Mannheim undertake Canadians Jason King
The Adler Mannheim for the new season, the Canadian striker Jason King under contract. This was announced by the club in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL).

I still wonder what the exact conditions are in the King/Shannon trade...

Even up to last year people thought he was an NHLer that was just never given a chance.

Now that he's signed in the DEL can we finally all agree he isn't NHL material?

If he was NHL material, some team would have given him a shot by now. Same thing for Brendan Reid. They may have an NHL shot or NHL skating ability, but in terms of complete player, they just weren't NHL players.

DEL is a fine pro league to. JK can make a nice living there, and have a comfortable nest egg after he finishes his career there. He'll probably make more then most CFL players do.

Looks like we got Shannon for nothing, then.
