Gagne hasn't been good, but he's still been more productive than King.

I agree, I haven't liked Kings game this year but Sutter does, he defended him again yesterday when that was brought up and said 'he's working hard'.
It could be Sutter has been around this league long enough to think that King is going thru a sophmore slump. That may be or maybe what we saw in the playoffs isn't the real King.
Either way, the bottom line is the coach likes him and he's staying. I feel bad for Gagne who has worked hard since last Jan. to get back and it looks like that won't happen. And I don't think the handful of games was a true test, or maybe Sutter just doesn't like Gagne. Either way, he's the guy who will be sitting unless there is an injury.
