It appears that Analytics have finally gained a foothold in NHL offices with the Devils now leading the change along with several other teams that have created departments this off-season.
I have not kept up with new developments in hockey statistics, but I was against the advanced stats used 4-5 years ago. I also assume there are several others here that have little knowledge about the stats that these guys use. I'm not sure what to think about it yet but I feel it warrants discussion. The statisticians are here now and we can't ignore them anymore.
I'm wondering if anyone here (McDevils?) knows what stats are being used now, how these models work, and if they would be kind enough to explain some of the work that would be done by these departments.
