Remember the transaction we all read and hailed as a smart move on BC's part,
as it kept some continuity? The one about BC *retaining* the assistant
coaching staff (whose names I can't recall)? Perhaps that decision was made
outside of Milbury's control?

The IHL is no creampuff league. Several teams maintain independence from NHL
clubs, and have built impressive rosters using free agents. Remember that San
Diego Gulls club of a few years ago, which lost something like 3 games? That
team featured Dimitri Kvartalnov (a name I KNOW Tony knows) and a
resurrected Clint Malarchuk.  Also, IHL teams' have generally done well at the
gate. We'll have to see how the Detroit Vipers and Chicago Wolves do in their
established NHL markets.
