Thread: Analytics are ruining your brains
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil</b></div><div>Too much analytics is bad
Not enough analytics is bad

Analytics don't tell the full story

Analytics are being used more in today's hockey with better availability to track those numbers and teams can get a better understanding of players without having to watch every game.

"Why would a smart team like the Rangers keep someone like Reaves if he’s so bad according to your analytics people on random corners of the internet?"
As for Reaves, the Rangers kept Reaves because he plays a role that not many NHL players play in today's game. In reality he isn't good enough to be a regular NHL player but his intangible impact on the ice keeps him in the league</div></div>

You’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head with
“Too much analytics is bad
Not enough analytics is bad

He’s a 1st pair D and on a steal of a contract, that’s a pretty good package for both sides ( assuming AZ has to take Zaitsev back )

The only name I recognize here is Demin, because he was traded from Vegas to Chicago in the Lehner deal. Anybody know anything about any of these guys? Kinda doubtful any of them are relevant tbh</div></div>

I mean I’ve heard of Karow, Thome and Stapley but I am a Habs fan and owned Karow/Thome in the GM Game so that’s kind of expected, Karow and Thome suck so they definitely won’t sign, Inamoto was in the Max Domi 3-way though I don’t think he’s much of anything

Cole Guttman, Sammy Walker, Brett Stapley, and Tyler Weiss standout. All can return to school tho.</div></div>

I doubt Stanley signs unless he returns to school and standout, the Habs are now at the point where they own so many rights that they have to be wise in their choices of who they sign, can’t just sign everyone now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LloydminsterLarry</b></div><div>We have the most far left media in the English speaking world. This is all motivated by social and political activism from the left. This entire thing was dragged back up after the money was paid. Now we have an open case that was closed before. These people saw a chance to drag this back into the spotlight for their own reasons. Why do you think we have all these “investigative” sports journalists? They’ve only been around very recently. For decades we had sports basically separated from politics. Now they are one in the same.</div></div>

No sports journalist does investigate journalism, however, if someone comes to them or they discover a story related to hockey, they will tell it, Rick Westhead did an amazing job with the Chicago and Kyle Beach affair, etc, there is a tight line to walk, especially in this case, to dismiss the claims of sexual assault would be to continue to perpetuate the problem of not believing women when they come out however you can’t exactly just believe her blindly because then you’d be presuming what’s happened before knowing, you kind of have to believe both sides at 50% ( which is super contradictory )
