Meh, the more we've gotten to know Tulsky over the last 10 years the less surprising stuff like that is.
It's a sign of a strong analytics expert to know what the data says... and what it doesn't say.
At this point, he's the GM of the hockey team. The very, very clear MO has been inputting all information (analytics, scouting, etc.) and streamlining it into a decision making process to make the best possible decisions.
I think 10 years ago it was already more or less disrespectful to paint Tulsky as only the "numbers" guy. Now it's simply and flat out inaccurate. Instead, I imagine he'd prefer to be known as the leader of "a data-driven organization", which is a very, very different statement than "an organization that blindly does what the numbers tell it to."
