I agree 100% but there is no proof that those teams used advanced stats to make the decisions that allow them to be good at advanced stats.
My point is more that Chicago may use advanced stats but I don't think they drafted Toews and Kane because they had a strong Corsi in junior. Or that they use advanced stats to make personel decisions because that would mean they should trade Patrick Kane for Backlund since Backlund has a much better relative corsi then Patrick Kane.
The point is advanced stats are helpful but shouldn't be the be all end all for determining if a player is good.
