How the fuck would you even know any of this?
completely making shit up.sure man lol
Do some research dumbass.
He is a data scientist, professional poker player and options trader. Hockey wasn’t his main focus in life. Never played hockey much less professional hockey. That’s a serious disadvantage if he has all the power to run a hockey team. This is like hiring another Dubas minus the part where at least Dubas was around hockey his whole life whereas this guy has played more poker than he played hockey.
This is exactly how the Leafs hire a guy who does everything by the numbers but has less of a clue about the culture and the game itself. That’s where you need a guy like Pronger or somebody else who at least played the game, who understands the locker room, who understands the game behind the numbers.
Mehti is great with numbers. But he wasn’t the hockey mind behind the Panthers. All that groundwork was laid years before his numbers got involved. If the Leafs hire him to run the entire team, you won’t get the best results without having a hockey mind above him. Just like how Moneyball was a great story but didn’t win a World Series.
