Why is this being posted on a economics board ? this entire article is rhetoric . Thedailybeast is a propaganda rag and should be banned . But people eat this shit up like ice cream because it confirms their bias . <| sep |> I don ' t think it ' s a coincidence that since has been paired with McDavid that McDavid ' s scoring numbers have risen . Plays aren ' t dying on his stick as often as they were at times with Eberle . He ' s got the speed to keep up with McDavid but most importantly he ' s got really good hockey IQ . He knows when and where to give the puck to McDavid and it ' s only a matter of time before his numbers rise . Had two beautiful chances yesterday that Varlamov stopped him on . It also has allowed that second line with 199314 to become very dangerous . Best situation possible for this team .
