Funny you should mention that.
Iginla's bad possession metrics were the canary in the coalmine on the trade him crowd. Were we ruthlessly manageing the Flames with stats and scouting we'd likely have identified Iginla rapidly deteriorating complete game and sold high on him 3 years ago. That's the utility of the stats.
But yes, Kotalik had a higher corsi, but was still the 10th ranked forward ahead of only 3rd and 4th liners (and Iginla). So uhh, what was your point?
