    Advanced stats are garbage

    I am just assuming this means that there are a few Swedish prospects who come out badly on advanced metrics so now it's all garbage.

    They are literally useless half the time. Advanced stats in hockey are a joke, and I vomit every time somebody tries to apply them to the game. There are way too many factors to take into consideration. It's not baseball.

    Except that's completely untrue. Many scouts and teams use advanced metrics.

    Yes and not everything has to be your personal crusade. I literally vomit everytime you express this opinion unprovoked.

    Probably the Oilers and Jackets!

    Advanced stats tell me that Brad Marchand is a better player to have than Datsyuk

    I like stats that mean something. The stats that mean something are Landeskog's +/- relative to teammates and his goal, assist, and shot totals, as well as his TOI. That's it.
