This is a very good article on Don Fishman–our assistant GM– as part of our rebuild–we decided to be the first team in the NHL to hire a “capologist”– Don is very analytic–he is an attorney–he is smart and he LOVES hockey and the Caps. That is a very powerful combination.
Managing the cap– having little to no dead money-on the books; being able to re-sign who you want/need as a team; and having good relations with your players and agents are key to success in the new NHL; so far–so good for us–kudos to Don.
