I can clear this up:
-Kesler (faceoff beast) was traded for Bonino (faceoff weakling) in june of 2014.
-adding bones to Hank (career 49%), our draws dipped.
-sprinkled in Mccann's $&!#ey draws the next year.
-last year Sutter played the whole season and Horvat continued to be solid 50%+ contributor.
-no coincidences
Who knows if there is a Manny effect in our guys faceoff stats now, but sure is nice to have a couple guys who win (horvat, sutter) more draws than they lose (Sedin). And can't help but think back to 2010-2012 when we started with the puck almost 60% of the time.
