Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

Something in the Trump thread reminded me - the Oilers didn't renew Tyler Dellow's contract and I wonder if it's partially because he was a super-dick on his personal twitter about #BellLetsTalk day. He's really good at hockey analytics but has always seemed to be a dick in general and I wonder if it turned out he was better suited for writing a super critical blog as opposed to actually doing analytics in a professional environment.

Didn't he delete because the Oilers told him to? It wouldn't surprise me.

Between this and the Canadiens guy, bloggers be getting unpaid. I think some teams brought on analytics folk for faddish reasons to appease their critics and had no interest in really using them as a resource.

And then there are teams like Carolina, who make extensive use.

Marc Dumont said he thought as much about the Habs in his AMA with the Habs subreddit -- before Matt Pfeffer got fired.

Along those lines, I feel like with Dellow I remember reading one of the main proponents of bringing him in at the time was Dallas Eakins, who is no longer with the Oilers.
