On topic, they brought Chayka in thinking he could pull off hockeys version of Moneyball. Cheap team wins games. Prob is hockey isn’t baseball and advanced stats are mostly useless, at least today. Too many intangibles as play that don’t show up in the stats. You have to actually watch guys play and the teams that have unlimited money to spend on amateur and pro scouting will always boot stomp the low budget teams.
I don’t have a strong opinion on Chayka or know the yotes org inside out but my guess is he is playing with significantly less staff by numbers and talent then his competitors and it would be a small miracle to build a winner in AZ with his resources. Feel bad for Yotes fans, I can’t see that team ever competing in that market without a big money owner willing to go for it.
