The interesting thing to me about this is that the Flames have their own analytics. Now this might just be a case of Gulutzan knowing Vey and convincing the Treliving that he will be bringing something worthwhile, analytics be damned... but I'd be very interested to learn what Vey looks like according to the numbers that the Flames are measuring.
