Advanced stats piece which of course renders the list kind of useless as a measuring stick of how good a team will be as I think there's a lot of players on their Tier 3 list better than their Tier 2 players. Pacioretty over Backstrom, Stamkos, or Getzlaf? There's no way I'm taking Krug over Pieterangelo and while I'm a Hamilton fan it's kind of shocking they have him in Tier 1. So nice to see it puts the Flames in a good light it's borderline useless as almost half those teams (Jets, Jackets, Flames, Blues, Senators, Bruins) making their cut could conceivably miss the playoffs next season.
