Hey HF world, its my first post here so I'm still getting my feet wet for sure (go easy on me!).
With all of the recent hiring of analytic advocates, (Kyle Dubas for Toronto, Tyler Dellow for Edmonton, Sunny Mehta for New Jersey) my curiosity wandered to the potential impact each of these individuals bring to their respective clubs.
In saying that, from what I've found on each of them through simple google searches, I am still foggy as to what each can bring to their respective clubs with their own expertise.
Kyle Dubas - CHL GM who seemingly turned a bottom feeding SOO team to a contending/desirable player location. Also a pioneer of advanced stats at the OHL level. As an organization they recorded their own stats deemed important to them - stats not otherwise tracked in game logs.
Tyler Dellow - Outspoken blogger who is(was) a very active advocate for advanced stats, and vocal critic when it comes to management and gameplay - particularly against the Edmonton Oilers
Sunny Mehta - Poker star and author of two books on beating the odds of poker. One would assume he knows his way around numbers and a spreadsheet?
Like I said, my research on these fellows have been rather superficial (what the Google machine provides me) so if anyone has more comprehensive information about the potential impact these hires will have on their respective clubs in regards to contracts, asset management, or even style of play, please share! I would love to have a solid mindset going into this season and future seasons about the impact we will see from analytics at the ice level as well as on an organizational level. Also figured it would be fun to compare how these new minds stack up against each other (if at all).
Cheers!
