Also all of the Moneyball teams realized that looking at numbers wasn't really working (see the Moneyball draft for an example) and went back to scouting.
There is also a ton more value in a moneyball format in a league without a salary cap where you're dealing with teams with payrolls of $230 million competing with teams with payrolls of $50 million. The shorter entry level deals also limit the extent you can exploit that since for example the Flames only have Monahan at a small cap hit for three years.
