It seems curious to me that the haters of this deal seem to completely ignore the advanced statistics comparison of the two players which appear to be a win for the Flames. I'm not sure if they just don't put too much stock in those stats or it doesn't fit their narrative.

I think it's likely because those advances stats were completely ignored when posters flamed Lucic over the last few years. Suddenly Lucic is looking better.
But you are correct, advanced stats are often ignored when they don't fit the narrative. But you'll see all fans of all teams do that.
