from the Mercury News,
“They’re all out here - by a country mile,” Wilson said. “The West has depleted the East of the great ones.”
The Sharks’ acquisition of Buffalo’s Brian Campbell last month was the latest example of how cornering the market on top-echelon defensemen has helped tilt the NHL’s balance of power toward the Wild, Wild West.
The list is impressive. Anaheim’s Scott Niedermayer and Chris Pronger. Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom and Brian Rafalski. Dallas’ Sergei Zubov, Calgary’s Dion Phaneuf and Chicago’s Duncan Keith.
And now Campbell.
“Either through free agency or trades, guys are finding their way to the West,” Campbell said.
