Derek Dreger has said it a few times now that Boucher was the guy the Leafs chose and we're going to offer him a contract up until Babcock called them back and took their offer.
Habs hired an analytics consultant.
Bergevin has said publicly that he feel analytics are more useful in evaluating other teams and players than his own. I believe the quote was "I don't need a number to tell me who has the puck". Not exactly the words of a man who understands and values the data analytics provide. Though I remember him saying the team's Corsi improved during the playoffs during his season ending press conference last year, so he obviously keeps track of some metrics.
Rick Dudley has shown open disdain towards analytics in an interview.
While the Habs have obviously dabbled in analytics, it sounds like it's hardly a focal point of heir decision making. Contrast this to the Leafs who have stressed the importance of staying competitive with the latest analytic data and the Habs just look like dinosaurs.
Kyle Dubas talks a bit about it in this interview (in the second half):

I'm not saying the Habs need to start making decisions solely based on an Excel spread sheet, that would equally stupid as ignoring analytics completely. But analytics provide insight into what's working well and what's not with your team and players, and the same around the league. It's simply negligent to allow yourself to fall behind.
Sorry, this needed up being more of a rant than I intended!
