"Advanced" Stats and the Problems Around Them

As some of you may remember, Zach Parise came out last year against the dump-and-chase and in favor of carrying the puck into the offensive zone. This was followed by the NHL adding some "advanced" stats to its website.

On the other hand, Paul Bissonnette wrote an article for the Players' Tribune in which he states: "Ultimately, teams don't draft based on Corsi or possession numbers. You draft a player because you've watched how they perform on the ice and then consider their potential to improve."

In short, Biz-Nasty isn't in favor of the advanced stats.
