Over the past couple of years
Adidas Drew Doughty Jersey , the NHL landscape has been shocked to see a number of trades take place. Nobody thought the Toronto Maple Leafs would find
takers for the albatross contracts of Dion Phaneuf, David Clarkson and Phil
Kessel. But guess what? None of them are wearing Leafs uniforms anymore. Some
players are sad to leave their teams, but others are just waiting for a way out
in order to win and build a legacy.
The world was shocked to see the Edmonton Oilers swap 2010 first overall pick Taylor Hall for defenceman Adam Larsson, and nobody saw a P.K. Subban for Shea
Weber trade happening. Sure enough, it did last offseason. Even a 10 million
dollar donation to a local children's hospital is not enough to save some star
players with huge contracts. In case you didn't think some of these moves were
crazy enough, there are more superstars that will soon be changing their teams.
Some of them are pending free agents

So don't be surprised if and when these 15 NHL players are changing jerseys in the next couple of years.
Former Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema is now an assistant on the Patriots’ staff, his first job in the NFL after a quarter century coaching in college. He
doesn’t think he’ll go back.
Bielema says he’s so thoroughly enjoying the all-football focus of working for Bill Belichick that he isn’t eager to return to a college campus.
“The thing I love about football in the NFL is you go to work at 6 a.m. and you leave at 9 [p.m.] and it’s nothing but football,” Bielema told CBS Sports.
“It’s just purely football.”
Bielema was head coach at Arkansas for five years and at Wisconsin for seven years. Prior to that he was defensive coordinator at Wisconsin, co-defensive
coordinator at Kansas State and linebackers coach at Iowa. The NFL, he has
learned, is something else.
“It’s a whole different way to coach [in the NFL]

drills I did during OTAs. I had 11 [defensive] guys go through the drills. ‘Holy
cow, these guys are good.’ These are the elite of your elite.”
The Patriots still haven’t announced what Bielema’s title will be, but whatever his job is, he sounds like he wants to keep it for a long
time.
