Not everyone had the pleasure of making a team with four 2nd lines,See I don't even know who he is, and when you say Vegas I believe you.
I'd say that team was built that way

Many will scoff, but he's not completely useless. He isn't an analytics darling though, and IMO since Chia overpaid him, he's not undervalued.
Yeah they just ran the analysis over the available players and picked the best.
I love it, good on Vegas.
Their success is a strong testament of how important analytics is.
They came in with a fresh mindset and built a contender from numbers. It's beautiful.
I'd say Matthew Perreault would be a good one for that category. Just without checking stats.
And I think Vegas totally moneypucked a lot. That's why they are competitive immediately. I would have answered Erik Haula last season but Vegas proved that theory for me.
Did somebody make an Evander Kane joke yet?
Is difficult to figure out moneyball in hockey compared to baseball. I'd look at cost per point or something in the NHL. In Baseball it's more about measuring how many wins a player is worth and they haven't really figured out a way of doing that yet in the NHL, although I think some have tried.
Most Advanced stats hate him and he's probably overpaid as well. So he might be the opposite of a moneypuck player.
No a player that is a cute dog with a big buttSo like players with good advanced stats but not a lot of points or so?
He is opposite of moneypuck. He's an advanced stats nightmareKris Russell?
