Dean Lombardi
11 August 2008
inish, and General Manager Dave Taylor was fired to begin the off-season. Shortly thereafter, Dean Lombardi was brought in as his replacement. He signed Marc Crawford to be the Kings' new head coach. He then acquired Dan Cloutier -- a former 30 game winner -- from the Canucks for a nominal fee. He traded Pavol Demitra to the Wild for a draft pick and high-end prospect Patrick O'Sullivan. He traded Eric Belanger and Tim Gleason to the Hurricanes for super-prospect Jack Johnson and old Oleg Tverdovsky. The future appeared to be bright, but it's still proved to be a bumpy road.
