I think it goes without saying that all hockey teams have advanced stats that they don't disclose. It really is the logical next step in an industry where most things are on a level playing field.
I think the Oilers are showing that you can't build a team on players with high CORSI numbers as there is a lot more to it then that. If these fancy stats were the end all then you would have guessed that the oilers should have taken a step forward this year after signing wonder CORSI players like Fayne and the other guys (forget his name).

The only good corsi hit brought in really was Fayne. Nikitin was terrible and the rest of the Oilers were already the worst on the league. The oilers don't show anything.
Not that I believe corsi is the new all and end all anyways, but again, poor example
