Advanced stats by my understanding is to take a quantitative view of teams and players using the best available data as a way to gauge your interpretations of players. If you used advanced stats you would have likely found that trading for Kotalik would have been a very bad idea. Or that the 09-12 Flames were not a good team and were way more than a piece or two away from the playoffs.

In fairness to your point and the larger discussion, those two points could also be and were determined without advanced statistics. They were useful in bellying the argument, but not in reaching the conclusion.
