Coleman is an astounding 57.4%, but he's only hit the dots 54 times.

We only have one other player who has taken more 500 faceoffs, and that's Kadri with 780. He's won 45.3% of them.

There are 65 players who have taken at least 500 draws so far this season, and when sorted by winning %, Backlund is ranked 53rd. Kadri is 59th. The cutoff for players with at least a 50.0% is 41st.

So, yes... your statement that "they can all take draws" is true, but when you factor in the statistical evidence, you might as well say my grandmother can take draws too.
Draws plus defensive players. I wouldn’t want Kadri out there then. Coleman has winger stats on the FO. I could see putting him there instead of one of the other two though. But not that line with Coronato.
