Because it's worked so well? Maybe there's a world where the old school and the analytics can come together.
If the numbers lined up, I would agree with you, but the Analytics for Edmundson are terrible, almost as bad as Ilya's. Look at any SC Winner and their analytics will be elite.

"Look at any SC winner and their analytics will be elite" is such a broad statement. Which aspects are you looking at specifically? Or is everything about previous SC winners perfect.
There's more to the game the JFresh's player cards.

You show me a team that was bad analytically that won the Stanley Cup and I will concur. Jfresh's cards are outdated, there are better models to use btw. Corse %. Fenwick %, really any half decent stat.
I got to say, I'm not digging the Leafs moves thus far. They didn't really overpay or anything for Eddy or Bush for that matter but man they better have something more pertinent in the works. Eddy/Bush cannot be your solution defensively.
JFresh all you want but I loved Edmundson in our Cup Finals run a few years back. Obviously not the same player anymore but I think he’ll manage to be useful for TOR.
Those player cards have actually ruined hockey twitter. Everyone who uses them acts like such a know-it-all

They aren't perfect, and since he started doing them over a 3 year timeframe, they are pretty much un-usable, but they're a basic tool to look at to determine how the player looks if you don't watch him play live, I am not one of those people. I watch A LOT of hockey (and that is an understatement). Edmundson is someone who stands out every night, and not in a positive way.

Ah, you make a point and I'm supposed to provide the proof. Good one.

The truth is every club uses analytics. They just use completely different stats that are proprietary to the clubs or whoever they contract out to do their stats. They also don't simply look at the analytics to evaluate players.
It's hysterical how the internet-analytics crowd thinks all this works because some guy made a card with no context.
More on topic, Edmundson is a warrior. Great add for a playoff club. Obviously he isn't going to eat 23 minutes a night anymore, but if you're the coach late in a tie-game in the playoffs do you want to send Edmundson out for that faceoff in your zone or Lilly? Easy choice, imo.
More raw talent means precisely zero in the postseason. You're going to get worn down in these series and use a lot of defensemen. Ideally you'd like to wear the other team down, too. That's why these type of defensemen always get "too much" at the deadline.
