Disagree. The best part is how triggered people get.

When models cast the Flames or Flames players in good light, they are good models and should be referenced. But when the Flames or Flames players are criticized, the models are garbage and don't take absolutely everything into account.

This is especially important during the draft. When Bader's prospect model says a Flames pick exceeds its expective value, Bader's model is awesome. But when a low-scoring player is picked and his model isn't a fan of the selection, the model sucks because it doesn't take into account 100% of variables. We even get to see the phenomenon where the model bounces between a good model and a garbage model then back to a good model within the same hour.
