So under a google search for hockey sabermetrics i came across the name Daryl Shilling. His site appears to no longer to be active and I couldn't find anything else about it. I guess my question to others on the board is, why has sabermetric type analysis not taken off in hockey? wouldn't it make the debates we all have ranking prospects better to have concrete data to say "player x is better than player y"? Or, team a's roster is better than team b's roster based on the data? wouldnt it be helpful to know how much better a third liner on the Devils is than a replacement 4th line call up from the AHL?
I know hockey isnt baseball, its far less of a situational game and far more of a reactionary sport than baseball is, but I think there would be value in this kind of in depth statistical analysis, I even think that if the data was out there it could make scouting better and help teams make better personnel decisions. what say you hf boards?
