Musings on Madison, Episode 174 — Decisions on Donato, blames on Bedard and projections on prospects
Q: If you're Kyle Davidson and you had the controls on what happens with Ryan Donato at the end of the season, or I guess at the trade deadline, what kind of things are you thinking related to him?
You set a price, and if somebody hits that price, then you move him. Unless somebody really blows their doors off, hang on to him.
Musings on Madison, Episode 179 — It's back to bleak for the Blackhawks
Q: What are your thoughts on where you would assess the lack of quality of this Blackhawks team?
It's a team that's quit.
