Isn't Moneyball about finding undervalued players due to an inefficiency in the existing valuation models? Valuing RBIs and BA and undervaluing OBP?
I don't think Lewis, Gilbert etc were somehow being ignored because existing NHL valuation models were not effectively recognizing their undervalued talents.
