I don't know how much this will change statistics and how people use them but it is an interesting article, Brian Burke's take on it is almost the same as mine, good or bad and maybe only even as a we dinosaurs may view it.....LOL

The article cites Calgary Flames president of hockey operations Brian Burke’s declaration that, “Statistics are like a lamp post to a drunk-useful for support, but not for illumination.”
Burke’s brand of thinking may still represent the majority of the league, but there are signs of change.
