Pelicans Talk	Analyzing Pelican Players and How to Fit Talents Together - corndeaux on 4/18/13 at 12:30 pm Big summer for the Pels. Who to resign, who to draft, who to go after in FA? Where do they find the missing piece(s)? How do we make sense of the options that will work best for this team? Tom Ziller and Bethleham Shoals were big on this idea of positional revolution.
