Yes. We need to convert some of our wingers into a legitiate top 6 scorer that can carry the 2nd line. Getting the rest of our second line back would be pretty useful too.
I can't believe 65 people voted NO!!!
Cam Charron from Canucks Army wrote an excellent article to address this. Take a look and may be you will feel better

Cam Charron knows very little about the stats he loves to use so much so it's hard to take his opinion on anything else seriously. Especially when for all the word-count it's an incredibly shallow article.

advanced stats are no where near as useful as they are in baseball because there is so many more variable's and unlike baseball it's not a 1v1 situation. you could fire a prayer shot from the half boards and it would count towards a positive corsi

but my point is you can't accurately quantify any of these at the momentCorsi is a possession stat so I'm not quite clear on what's wrong with that. More and more research is being done into better ways to analyze hockey, which there's some posts on in another thread.
-ken holland on the stats.“It’s funny because our game looks at numbers just like other games,” says Red Wings general manager Ken Holland, “but as much value as we assign to puck possession and how essential it is to winning, we really don’t have a numerical value for it that everyone can agree on. Remember when [A's general manager] Billy Beane started emphasizing on-base percentage in baseball? It wasn’t just a curious number; it changed the game. It redefined the type of player you wanted on your team. It’s coming in hockey; we just have to figure out how.”

I've read some of his stuff and i've never been intrigued or seen anything I didn't already know. I think he'd be better at writing about baseball tbh, a sport where advanced stats actually matter.
Having read his stuff in the past and the way he uses numbers to support his opinions I'd say he has been guilty of not seeing the forest for the trees.
