LW Gabriel Landeskog

LW Daniel Sedin

RW Joffrey Lupul

RW Nathan Horton

F Henrik Sedin

F Charlie Coyle

F Matthew Nieto

D Niklas Kronwall

D Christian Ehrhoff

D Justin Faulk

D Tyler Myers

D Sergei Gonchar

BN Dany Heatley

BN Travis Zajac

BN

NA Daniel Alfredsson

 

G Jonathan Bernier

G Antti Raanta

BN Evgeni Nabokov

 

Why did you take Alfredsson lol. Your forwards aren't bad.

[burlingtonbandit]

Dangle Factory has projections up.

On the front page.

I figure take a chance to see if he comes back to Detroit - he's holding a NA slot, so nothing to lose lol.

 

I don't think my defense is that bad as well. I think Ehrhoff, and Myers both could have bounce back years, and I do like Justin Faulk.

[GD]

I think My team is going to crush everyone in the hits category

 

pun intended?

[jays_fever]

Dangle Factory has projections up.

 

That's literally what I was used the entire draft, then checked their yahoo player pages to see how old they were

I speadsheeted them and then ranked them lol

 

I meant power rankings

 

C'mon GD, get to it, you know you want to!

 

No s*** lol, you use projections to form pre-season power rankings.

 

And no thanks, I don't feel like sifting through 420 VLOOKUP errors. If JFaS hasn't done it by next week and I somehow have time, sure.

[GD]

A spirited match between two good teams, Havok vs GD/Dinger, to start off the year. Gonna be a fun league boys!

[GD]

I'll look to do it sometime shortly.

I used dangle factory as well, and went a little further adding an aging curve.

 

I just standardized age. I wanted Voracek pretty bad. Was gonna draft Tarasenko but went Niemi instead. Probably should have flipped them. Would you have gone with Niemi? And I forgot to draft Gaudreau lol.

[burlingtonbandit]

C Stamkos

C Turris

LW J Staal

LW Gaudreau

RW Voracek

RW Tarensenko

F Little

F Shaw

F Wingels

D Voynov

D Brodie

D Cowen

D Vatanen

D Russell

BN Eakin

BN Sobotka

 

G Varlamov

G Kuemper

G Harding

G Markstrom

 

You took Turris, Tarensenko, and Little the pick before I was going to take them lol.

[GD]

Wingels and Shaw are both under the radar picks that are probably gonna work out nicely. Very good team.

[havok24]

So, what team is silverguns?

 

RJ's

[havok24]

Silvergun's forwards are actually pretty nice.

[GD]

Silvergun's forwards are actually pretty nice.

 

Preranked Backstrom pretty high, very nice job. Nice forwards. Goalies are a problem though lol

[Frag]

I also used Dangle Factory. I guess everyone using the same source results in no distinct advantage, but a huge disadvantage for those like Wilko.

You can tell who used what. I wasn't joking when I said you, JFaS and I were looking at the same spreadsheet. Granted, the way we introduced age probably created some variance in the rankings. And maybe goalie rankings were different depending on what you guys did.

[Frag]

Wilco rocking the St. Louis/Jagr/Iginla/Hossa old man fwd core

 

With Drouin and Ekblad as long-term options! His team will be truly unbeatable!

I didn't adjust for age, instead opting for checking the age of each player. I underestimated how many goalies would be snatched in the first 5 rounds.

Same. Had I accounted for that I think I could of got a decent number 2.

ho

I standardized age, and combined goalie rankings into player rankings by normally distributing the Z Sums divided by the count of the categories (regressed, basically the power rankings method). I also correctly predicted the goalie run, which helped.

Exactly what I did.

[Frag]

Where did you guys have Blake Wheeler?

 

Lower than where he was picked

[GD]

Where did you guys have Blake Wheeler?

 

45ish

 

My good god Doogie Hauser you would be mortified if you knew how I prepared for the BBDL.

 

I'm still mortified at how I prepared for that lol

[burlingtonbandit]

Who picked my prospects before i took over? Steaming pile of garbage. Might as well be John Muckler with a prospect draft like that.

[burlingtonbandit]

Randy lol

 

The first 2 picks were decent but it fell off a cliff after that.

[Frag]

I wonder if Bennett will play for the Flames this year. If not, well, at least I can watch him here in Kingston.

You live in Kingston?

What would a top nhl prospect in this league return in a trade?

Probably not as much as you would think.

[burlingtonbandit]

Palat at 128 could be a steal - especially if he plays on a line with Stamkos (which is definitely possible).

 

Yeah that was a good pick. Id say I wish I got him but my pick before was Saad so can't complain too much haha.
