This is fascinating and also an old quote and also he’s been an influential voice in the org over the past 5-6 years where we’ve absolutely been a dump heavy team

I don’t watch their games but my understanding is that the Panthers play a very similar system to the Hurricanes and have made the finals twice in a row now. So that leads me to believe that their system can work but it also cannot completely compensate for a skilled top 6 and goaltending.
I wonder how much of that claim is subject to change with the landscape. Some strategies are inherently good or bad. Some are good or bad based on what everyone else is doing. It’s a very different league than it was in 2013.

[here’s the paper](http://www.hockeyanalytics.com/Research_files/Using%20Zone%20Entry%20Data%20To%20Separate%20Offensive,%20Neutral,%20And%20Defensive%20Zone%20Performance.pdf). It’s more than likely very outdated
Edit: [the more recent work](https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/jqas-2023-0019/pdf?licenseType=restricted) (that’s paywalled) illustrates the level of detail the org is going into with their research these days.
