Bumping this a bit, but there has been a big shift in NHL front offices this summer towards analytics. The Bruins have bad Nadeau for a while, but he was given the analytics title this year. Brendan Shannahan cleaned house by firing Dave Poulin and Claude Loiselle and brought in 28-year old Kyle Dubas as Assistant GM. Dubas has an analytical background from when he was GM of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHL. The Devils hired Sunny Mehta, a former professional poker player, as Director of Hockey Analytics and the big news today was that, according to Bob McKenzie, Tyler Dellow (@mc79hockey on twitter) has apparently been hired in some capacity by the Edmonton Oilers. Dellow was one of the more prominent analytics guys on twitter. He was an interesting follow, too bad we're losing him.
Anyway, the analytics craze appears to be sweeping the NHL. I find it fascinating, so it'll be interesting see how teams further develop Corsi/Fenwick and other metrics as well as how teams adapt and use the analytics to construct rosters.
