Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Settling in for the main event (at least for me) at #PrimeTimeSE. Brian Burke moderating analytics session featuring @kyledubas. Up next.

At this session last year, we learned that the Maple Leafs had money budgeted for analytics but typically didn't spend it.

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Brian Burke kicks off analytics panel by saying analytics are "grossly overrated." @PrimeTimeSE
Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Brian Burke on analytics: "This notion I’m a dinosaur about it, I resent greatly."
Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Brian Burke, and he's right here, says we too often confuse statistics with analytics.
Chris Johnston @reporterchris
The #leafs coaching staff is provided with analytics info every day, per @kyledubas.
Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Brad Treliving: "When you drill through all the clutter, it’s info. You’re trying to disseminate what's useful information & not so useful."
Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Brad Treliving says the #flames have upped their investment in analytics over the last few months. "It's another tool for us; another lens."
Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Treliving references the analytics work in Calgary of Chris Snow, who Burke called best in the business. Snow is a former journalist.
David Shoalts @dshoalts
Baseball is a series of identical repetitive events while [hockey] is a series of random events: Burke on why analytics suits baseball more.
Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Brian Burke says he saw Moneyball as a great survival tool for a small-market team, not a blueprint for a championship.
Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Brad Treliving said in Phoenix he could really relate to Moneyball and Oakland: "It was really transferable for us in Arizona."
Craig Custance @CraigCustance
I've said this before but the Flames are in really good hands with Brad Treliving. Reasoned, intelligent. Always learn something from him.
