Dallas Stars Daily Links: Should The Stars Trade Steve Ott and Nicklas Grossman?
Before I start your daily trade rumor session, I want to just express my views on one thing. For me, discussing who might be traded or who might be coming here is all fairly meaningless until you put those things together in a workable package. Saying "trade Brenden Morrow" or "trade Stephane...
Fixing the Dallas Cowboys - Wrapup
To wrap up this series I wanted to share some final thoughts, respond to some of the great comments that came in on the first two pieces and lay out the cap figures for my pet roster out through 2016 in table format. First and foremost, this was a lot of fun to do and I think that good old...
Sab(re)metrics: Is Thomas Vanek Overpaid?
It has been a long time since I had posted to this site, and I apologize. Since my last posting, our fair Buffalo Sabres have accumulated a 9-18-4 record. Of course, this poses a few questions: Is my lack of posting and the Sabres poor record a coincidence? More than likely. Is all of this my...

Nostalgia: The Lost Season
