Hoosier native Jack Johnson is losing the "Best of next summer's potential restricted free agent" poll on espn.com/nhl.

Map doesn't accurately reflect latest numbers.

With more than 5,100 votes cast Johnson, defenceman for the Los Angeles Kings, only has about six percent of the vote.
Leading the five-man pack is Jordan Staal of the Pittsburgh Penguins, followed by Paul Stastny of the Colorado Avalanche, Anze Kopitar also of the Kings, Johnson and bringing up the rear is Atlanta Thrashers goalie Kari Lehtonen.
I read an article recently as to why the Red Wings have been so dominant, and it was attributed to the Wings defense.
So my vote went to Johnson because he's the only d-man on the list, and he was born in Indiana.
I know, hardly impartial reasons, but that's the way I voted.
