The Carolina Hurricanes. I see where this is going.
Flames were top 4 in advanced stats so the answer must be to hire the coach who is #1!
That above all else scares the bejesus out of me. Not who it is but the reliance on advanced stats to dictate your hire.
Just play the fracking game, don't let math dictate how you play. It doesn't work!

I agree to a point that you can't just base decisions solely on advanced stats, but you can't ignore them either. They do tell a part of the story. The Bruins, Penguins, Jets, Predators, Lightning and Blue Jackets were top 10 in SAT%, and I don't think I would be going to far out on the limb to suggest that one of those teams is winning the Cup this year. I think to ignore the advanced stats and just say hire someone that wins, is ignoring a big piece of the winning puzzle.
