New guys in Phoenix

Dennis Jorgensen

GM, Phoenix Coyotes

Today the Coyotes made another move, this time shaking up the D. Out are Berard and Boucher and in comes yet another swede Kim Johnsson and another familiar face in Ken Klee.

Sundin had this to say:"Ken and I go way back. We had some good times in Toronto and will now see if we can get it done here in Phoenix. As for Kim then it's a real nice pick up. He's one of the best young defenders in the game. He too is from Sweden, and I know him from some of the international games we'd played together. We are now expected to lineup with an all swede 1st line and I'm sure it will help the team. I'm sure it will bring some good harmony and flow to our game being from the same country and having been taught the same hockeyphilosophy."

Tonight will be the first test for the new guys against Philly.
