Just for interest. When I did my B200 endo (at CKN in mid-summer) the training pilot briefed the first assy session thus:

'When we take off, I will introduce a practice engine failure. I want you to do nothing except fly the aeroplane following the FD. Do not attempt to identify, verify, feather or apply rudder."

So we took off, and through about 500AGL he said 'Simulated engine failure' and pulled the power on the left engine.

I did nothing except follow the FD.

The rudder boost kicked it straight and the live engine climbed it out at about 800fpm without ANY further input from me. (This was a 3-blade; the 4-blade needs autofeather to do the same thing. U/S autofeather on a 4-blade is a no-go item)

This demonstrated pretty clearly to me that a B200 is quite hard to crash as a result of Engine Failure After TO.
