The Kings also will welcome Adam Deadmarsh Adam Deadmarsh (born May 10, 1975 in Trail, British Columbia) is a former National Hockey League hockey player who played for the 1996 Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup winning team. and Aaron Miller Aaron Miller (born August 11, 1971 in Buffalo, New York) is a professional ice hockey defenseman who currently plays for the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL. Playing career Miller was drafted in the 5th round, 88th overall by the New York Rangers in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. to their first camp. Both were acquired last March from Colorado for Rob Blake. Deadmarsh scored the series-winning goal in the Kings' first-round playoff victory against Detroit. Miller is a candidate to replace Blake as the team's captain. The Kings' biggest challenge, according to general manager Dave Taylor, is finding the offense to replace popular Luc Robitaille, who signed a free-agent contract with Detroit in July. Robitaille had back-to-back 39-goal seasons, finishing second on the club in scoring last year to Ziggy Palffy. Robitaille's spot was taken by free-agent signee sign·ee n. One who has signed a document, such as a contract or petition. Steve Heinze, who scored 27 goals for Columbus and Buffalo. Palffy's linemate, Jozef Stumpel, who missed last year's training camp in a contract dispute, will be at camp from the start. He is hoping to rebound from his third consecutive inconsistent season. The two biggest issues in camp will be the future of backup goaltenders Stephane Fiset and Jamie Storr. With Potvin's return, Taylor said one will be traded by the Oct. 4 season opener against Phoenix. Fiset, 31, was limited to seven games last year because of a pair of serious knee injuries. He recovered in time for the playoffs but did not play. Storr, 25, took over for Fiset until Potvin arrived. The Kings also will get a chance to see winger Jaroslav Bednar, a 24- year old Czech who was drafted in the second round last June. Bednar scored 32 goals last season in Finland and is projected to join one of the club's top scoring lines. Camp has been shortened this year because of a two-week shutdown of the NHL NHL Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, see there in mid-February to accommodate the Olympics. The Kings' first exhibition game is Sunday against the Mighty Ducks at Staples Center.
