11/19/14 Replace Draisaitl With Anyone

At the beginning of the season, the words on everybody's lips were "you can't send Draisaitl down because there's nobody who could take his place on the team". I like Draisaitl, just like everybody else, but right now he could be replaced by almost any actual NHL center.

11/03/14 Positioning Players To Succeed

Move over, Jeff Petry. If the Justin Schultz hate from the fans seems like it's getting louder all the time, just wait until Petry is out the door.
