Centre Mike Cammalleri also expects to benefit from a change of scene after being picked up in a trade from the Los Angeles Kings. Cammalleri, 26, had 47 points (19-28) with Los Angeles last year and is expected to help fill the offensive void left by the departure of Alex Tanguay to Montreal.
As a throng of reporters and cameras surrounded the new players, he seemed amazed at the attention.
"We were over there and they were taking pictures and the only time I've seen this was in L.A. when we got on a red carpet once in a while - not at the rink," he chuckled.
