Shaman 713 Report post Posted June 12, 2009 Id say that in the short term its a downgrade, but, in the long term, this is a great move for Anaheim to keep their back end young and deep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Kingdom 4 Report post Posted June 12, 2009 Valenti and Foster on 97.1 are confirming this but, the other sites like CBC and TSN have absolutley nothing about it. Same with NHL.com and Sportsnet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladdy_16 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Rich Hammond from The LA kings blog said he got a text from dean lombardi (gm of the kings) that said this is just a rumor and it's not true. http://www.insidesocal.com/kings/2009/06/johnson-rumors.html Rich Hammond: I'm away for the day, but here's what I can tell you via iPhone. Dean Lombardi sent me a text message that simply said, "Rumors not true." That's about all I can tell you right now. I will update if I hear anything different.
