 Here is a study that I did for Hockey Prospectus on NHL Team Architecture. Obviously since I posted it on HP, I believe they have a great site, so definitely take a look at some of the material from their other great writers too. Front Office Focus – NHL Team Architecture What is the best way to [...]  While many teams have wrapped up prospect camps and have started into training camps, there was an interesting contract handed out this week that got lost in the mix.
