I'm not saying I'm against advanced stats or analytics or anything, I want to make that clear. But what I am saying is that this team has lacked quality shooters which I've mentioned constantly in the past and that glaring problem still has not been rectified. If anything, it's worse than past years. That falls on Treliving's decision making, his pro scouting team and his overall philosophy.
I don't believe this, a big analytics guy doesn't trade a 1st and 2 2nds for Travis Hamonic or sign the Brouwer contract.
