Through Marcotte, and to a lesser extent Howie Meeker, I discovered there were learned individuals all over the world examining how to improve the game.

I just feel like there's going to be teams that are going to hit near the end of the season or even midpoint of the season when they realize they're out, where they have to take a good, long, hard look at themselves and determine, is this player in the future for them? My favorite term is pick the carcass.
Aaron WardGUEST
I feel like Your team right now is pretty solid.

And that's where, and I like to, my favorite term is pick the carcass.
