The Value Of A Goon
Derek over at The Copper & Blue looks at the current NHL "arms race" on goons in Free Agency, and why this trend will hurt, not help, the teams rushing to load up on enforcers.
Would you be surprised to learn that Jared Boll was one of the best goons in the NHL at drawing penalties, rather than taking them? This is an interesting post and worth making anyone who claims Columbus needs a "real heavyweight" read.
