they draft pretty well (dubois, atkinson, etc) and have made some shrewd trades (jones, bob, panarin). they just can't really seem to keep their players because they play in a boring city where the fans spend the first two periods counting the number of buckeye stickers on a football helmet. if they weren't about to lose panarin and bobrovsky, it would seem like they were in a pretty good spot. i also am not a huge believer in torts.
