Mair split time in the [[2001–02 NHL season|2001–02 season]] between the AHL and NHL, and was hurt for a good amount of the season. In a December 20, 2001 game against the [[Ottawa Senators]], Mair was assessed 47 penalty minutes after he left the Kings bench to join a fight that had broken out between the two teams behind Kings goaltender [[Felix Potvin]]. As the two teams fought, Mair's teammate [[Mikko Eloranta]] squared off with Senator's [[enforcer (ice hockey)|enforcer]] [[Chris Neil]]. Seeing that Eloranta was at an obvious disadvantage, Mair left the Kings bench and tackled Neil. The next day it was announced that Mair had received an automatic 10-game suspension for leaving the bench to join a fight. The Kings decided to trade Mair to the Buffalo Sabres on July 24, in exchange for former first round draft pick [[Erik Rasmussen (ice hockey)|Erik Rasmussen]]. Mair has become a popular player, with his effort and his aggression. |
