I'm a fan. I don't think his upside is enormous and the overall limited offensive play of the Kings could certainly restrain his production but he could easily rack up in the neighbourhood of 20-30 points this season, which is great production for a sixth defenseman in that sort of league. He won't help your peripherals but he shouldn't hurt you anywhere either.

It all depends on what's available on the waiver wire of course but he's certainly worth a flyer as anyone with talent can go off for a nice stretch. Ideally, in a season so short you should use your sixth defensive spot as a rotating spot where you simply ride the hot hand. There's no time for patience this year so give him a shot and if don't work then grab someone better.
