My view of analytics has always been they are very useful (I very much understand and appreciate their value as a part of the debate) but what is currently used (and how used) is rather unsophisticated.
Even with Snow (best wishes to him), when he has spoken about analytics he uses language that people miss - analyzing in 3 dimensions in real time etc. This is really intriguing to me. What does he mean?
I mean it could have been CGY loved Tanev's intangibles for all I know but I think it's more - it's in their proprietary analysis. I could be wrong but at the end of the day I like Tanev so who cares!

They definitely have their own data / models and are not using public information (maybe they do as a double check).
So yeah I'd love to believe that Calgary now has a leg up with their own data, and will crush it going forward.
But the guy was hired in 2011, it would take time to get all that data up and running, but the team brought in Troy Brouwer and James Neal with him in the office.
Faulty model? Wasn't listened to?
We will never know I would assume.
