It seems as if his big smile, boyish charm, mullet and incredible skill -- not to mention his large posterior (he admits having trouble finding jeans that fit him) -- have always been with us. Even during his three Kontinental Hockey League seasons, we always kept an eye on him, just as he kept an eye on the NHL from afar, longing to return.
