So many people here sound like MLB pre 2010! Stupid TB and their shifting, my eyes tell me it is a dumb idea.

If I said they should never be used it would be as naive as saying they should always be used. Damn you have one thick skull...
They should be used as supporting evidence. You shouldn't come to a conclusion about anything because of a single number. If you are seeing specific results and have advanced stats to back up why the results are the way they are, then that's fine. That's how these stats are meant to be used.
The way Granteed is using these stats are absolutely horrendous. Especially since there are so many exceptions to what he quantifies as a playoff team.
And I'm going to pretend you didn't just compare advanced stats of MLB to NHL. There's no Moneyball solution to the NHL cap world.
