Just to pick a random sample - the top Corsi guy on the Penguins this year is Chris Kunitz. If the Flames decide to use one of their extra picks to trade for the guy, do those possession skills carry over to the Flames? What about guys like Dimitri Jaskin? Jakub Kindl? etc. The Oilers went out and spent boatloads of cash on Benoit Pouliet with his sweet Corsi and he's a pretty middling player for them.

Um, I think that's where actual scouting might be useful vs just crunching numbers
