6 gp, 1 goal, 5 pts for Kokkonen as a Marlie. Nice addition to their D so far.
Not sure what the story was on Abramov this year, anyone know? He didn't seem to have a good regular season. 9 points in 5 playoff games so far.

Our random character generator is starting to turn out some pretty good players.
There are about 6-7 teams in the NHL with a data driven process. The rest of the league has neanderthal apes as management. It's pretty funny to watch, especially when those 6-7 teams are consistently the best in the league. What a stupid, shitty league.
Bingo. The media and the old boys club create their own narratives for why data driven teams fail to win a cup. And even when they do eventually win, it's because they abandoned analytics and got some fourth line grinder with character.I'm at least mildly surprised with how persistent the culture is though. When the NBA went through it's analytics revolution there was resistence at first but as soon as the Steph Curry era blew the doors off of any remaining questions about the dominance of that style of play, there was a rush for every team in the league to follow.
I know that hockey has far more luck involved (across individual games and seasons) than Basketball so maybe there are more excuses for not following successful short term trends, but when there are no data driven teams at the bottom of the league and the biggest proponents of the approach are at the top of the league (and look to be able to remain there reliably for some time to come). When does the dam burst?
If anything threatens to ruin Gary's parity, it's this. When half of the teams in the league are using data driven processes to build, manage, and utilize their teams and the other half just fucking isn't.
We're doing something really right in our scouting when a 21 yr old 6th round pick is one of the best defenders in Liiga and an undrafted 21 yr old pops 8 points in his first 9 AHL games.
Bingo. The media and the old boys club create their own narratives for why data driven teams fail to win a cup. And even when they do eventually win, it's because they abandoned analytics and got some fourth line grinder with character.
But eventually the dam will break. For now I'm enjoying this advantage that teams like the leafs have.
