not the article I was looking for, I have heard Darcy Regier say himself that he uses statistics as much as anyone, Friedman or LeBrun mention that Buffalo was the first team to use Video Scouting and Advanced Statistics and and heavily into advance statistics. Their are some very successful GM who won't bother with them at all.
I am not saying I am against Advance Stats, what I am saying is that I want a guy who has a real eye for talent, I don't think DR is great as assessing talent.

So because Buffalo uses advanced stats and are playing poorly this year, that somehow equates to:
the teams that rely on advanced stats are often in the bottom half of the league.
