Hmmm.......not sure I follow you there. Markov is a left d and Komi is a right d. Since Komi left Markov has hardly played. He's played about half a season in the last 3 years. Hamrlik was more known as Markov's replacement as number one D. Hamrlik was doing for seasons what Alzner, Carlson and Wideman have been doing - playing lots of minutes. Spacek, who is also a left d, was moved to Hamrlik's right and formed the shutdown pair.
