[Devils-list] Holik gets $3.5 mill

[Pete Keiper-White]

The first line is Elias-Arnott-Sykora
The second line was Mogilny-Gomez-LW Du Jour
The third line was McKay-Holik-LW Du Jour

I think Lou will trade him if he can't re-sign him after this year.
I doubt he is the highest third liner in the NHL. The Rangers surely have
more expensive third liners.

On another topic, I was checking out amazon.com looking at books Stan
Fischler has written. I was amazed. Not only has he written tons of hockey
books but also books about baseball and the NYC subway. A wide and varied
collection.
