Episode 35: The Analytics Don't Say Anything

In this episode of the podcast we eventually get around to adopting both the Coyotes and Capitals as promised.

But before we get there, we take some time to discuss Alex Semin's departure from the NHL and how his brief stint in Montreal is hardly an indictment against analytics. There's a meaty conversation about roster construction, taking calculated risks, and how easy it should be to incorporate underlying metrics into your analysis in there too.
