Everytime Burke says anything about Moneyball he just proves that he never bothered to really read the book or understand the concept.

Blah, I dislike this promotion of style over substance. How about just hiring a coach that deploys the talent in a way that will produce expected wins. Wins are what count not whether or not they're "big and obnoxious". Also I wish he'd drop the "my" speak... that terminology should be the province of the GM (whoever that ends up being) not the President of the Hockey Ops division. It's gonna be hard to get a quality hire if he's gonna be a huge meddler.
