According to an article from Scott Cullen there were 6 teams represented at the 2013 Conference.
Dallas, Edmonton, Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Vancouver and Washington
Also in the article it stated that 4 teams had full time analytic position's. Calgary, Buffalo, Minnesota, and Chicago.
Plus last I saw the Burke didn't instantly fire Chris Snow when he had the chance so he must be more favourable to stats then you are stating. He just doesn't feel that you should only be using stats to make the decision.
And for the record I like advanced stats and am supportive of them. I just think people are wrongly stating Burke as a guy who hates advanced stats. Also the whole advanced stats thing is still up to interpretation. Just because Burke maybe doesn't use Corsi doesn't mean that there isn't some tool that he uses to rate players.
