Apparently this weekend is all booked up in college sports, so we have to wait another week for the Frozen Four.  In the meanwhile, Puck University remains in session as I sit down with Jim Williams to discuss a topic I've always felt strongly about:  Hockey's superior draft.  

As an expert on other college sports, Jim helps try and bring my crazy theory that every sport should have a draft like hockey's back to Earth.  First, we briefly discuss the Hobey Hat Trick, and why my vote would go to Zach Aston-Reese.  Then, after I bring out my crazy theory, we start to break down what other sports might look like with hockey's draft.

Okay, fine, we go a bit crazy imagining fixes to problems that other sports don't actually have, such as the chaos that would erupt if football were to have a hockey-style draft, or how John Calipari might use such a draft to continue to out-recruit his basketball competition.  Eventually, after I go off on a tangent or two, we arrive back at hockey and the many things that make the college hockey landscape unique across the NCAA.

To wrap up, Jim and I discuss the news that North Dakota is cutting their women's hockey program.  I quote an article from the Grand Forks Herald in my take on the matter, you can find Brad Elliott Schlossman's article here.  

Next week's episode will be up a day early.  Since the Frozen Four is on Thursday, we'll be up Thursday morning with a Frozen Four preview.
