If I remember correctly, Mishkin's first year with the Bolts was
2002-2003. Everyone remarks that his first year we made the playoffs &
won the Division. His second year we won the Cup. I think he's looked
upon as a good luck charm!

Kinda scary to realize after years of touting him as the player who
made everyone around him better that, in truth, it may well have been
the other way around. At least if the cap goes up as much as is
rumored (as high as $52M), his salary won't look nearly as bad as it
does right now.

I'd love to see Sarich stay if our new associate coach is going to
allow the D to play more physically. When he's allowed to hit, Cory
can have a big impact. He's totally out of his element playing the
poke-check system Ramsay created, and it showed.
