He could even be the Capitaino(captain).With that done we will now be on the lookout for another D-man that will complement Johnson. I see Los Angeles spending their 2007 or 2008 1st rounder on a Western Hockey League D-man. Maybe Karl Alzner or Colton Teubert of Calgary Hitmen and Regina Pats respectively...

I agree with you but I think it may be a bit of an adjustment only. With Dalman and a few of the other good young d-men we have I think we will not miss our D trade that much. I think the Veteran we rcv'd in return will make up for half the trade no problem. The Capitan that jack may be is a few years away, BUT the damn good D-man he is going to be for us in the next 2 years will be outstanding. I think DL is doing what he promised...building a winning team for the near future.

Another prospect to wait for...
