I think Coleman and Lindholm do sometimes.
But for sure this year everyone wants to hang back and work the tic tac toe passing play and they dead end the rush. Pelletier has been great at being predictable.

I think it’s 50-50 if Pelletier is back after the break. Some will lose their noodle about it but his waiver status and the flames being healthy up front will make that easy and they may want to try zary or another prospect before the deadline. Or may want to see where Ritchie or Rooney are at.
