Poor Wilko.

[burlingtonbandit]

Jordan Stall also went down with a knee injury that didn't sound like it was nothing. Going to be re-evaluated when they get back home.

 

Edit: Broken leg is what the team is saying.

Way to Drouin my night, Abom!

 

You should trade him to me as damaged goods. Problem solved!

I have to admit, I didn't expect the log regression coefficient between the weighted grade averages (Grades from HF) and round# to do better than the one I did for the baseball draft last year (which had MLB players, not prospects). What's more surprising is that this draft was done before most of the updates were made on the site.

 

Methodology was simple. I weighted the HF grades (1-10) by their risk (A-D,F), the latter of which was weighted by HF grade (lower grade = greater risk). Also, I adjusted for position (G = 2/3 F weight; D = 1/2 F weight). It's surprising that something done with what I found to be arbitrary means of weighting did so well (I guess, since it's relative and not absolute, it makes such arbitrary weights easier to do), as well as the fact that this is coming from Hockey's Future's grading system!

 

Here's the plot based on average weighted grade per round:

Here's the plot based on individual weighted grade per pick:

So, after calculating the expected pick value for each individual pick, I found the differential between the expected grade and actual grade. Then, I estimated the member rankings:

 

Rank Team (dGrade)

 

1. Goldbull (2.92)

2. Abomination (1.13)

3. Havok24 (1.10)

4. Frag (1.09)

5. BTS (0.74)

6. Silvergun (0.42)

7. Jaysguy34 (0.30)

8. Spittin (0.12)

9. Jaysblue (0.03)

10. Jaysfever (-0.16)

11. Spanky99 (-0.23)

12. JFaS/TheRealMin (-0.39)

13. Wilko (-0.47)

14. Vanland (-0.54)

15. King (-0.58)

16. z3r0s (-0.64)

17. burlingtonbandit (-0.67)

18. Aselvana (-1.06)

19. GordieDougie/Dr. Dinger (-1.17)

20. The Cats Ass (-1.91)

So, you could say that Goldbull's hands can turn picks... into gold...

 

I'll leave now!

[The Cats Ass]

I don't get it... So is it good to be at the bottom of the list?

The opposite is true. Goldbull had potentially the best draft, going by this method.

[Frag]

Stepan injured.

 

f***!

[The Cats Ass]

The opposite is true. Goldbull had potentially the best draft, going by this method.

 

Well I don't like this list then.

[Abomination]

Well I don't like this list then.

 

Maybe you and Goldbull are outliers. We should throw out those two results, and award me the best draft

[burlingtonbandit]

Apparently Datsuk is out for at least 4 weeks now too, Seems like there are way more injuries than usual.

[z3r0s]

Hey All, apparently trade messages are going to my co-manager and not me. I see yahoo lists both managers separately in the 'email league' thing, so please send any trade proposals to both of us (Brendan and z3r0s)

[havok24]

Goldbull,

 

Sent you an email through the league.

[GoldBull]

So, after calculating the expected pick value for each individual pick, I found the differential between the expected grade and actual grade. Then, I estimated the member rankings:

20. The Cats Ass (-1.91)

 

Woohoo!

 

Maybe made up for my s***** regular team...but then again , HF is pretty questionable in their rankings.

[GoldBull]

Goldbull,

 

Sent you an email through the league.

 

Is there a inter-team thread that generates in Yahoo, or do we just need to correspond over email?

[havok24]

Is there a inter-team thread that generates in Yahoo, or do we just need to correspond over email?

 

I'm not too sure to be honest. We can correspond over PM (this site) if you want?

[burlingtonbandit]

Anything more to that Svedberg/Baertschi trade?

 

No, straight up.

[jaysblue]

lol ^

[burlingtonbandit]

Jordan Stall out 3-4 months.

[burlingtonbandit]

Yeah, sucks for me.

 

Im sure once the season starts there will be injuries just like this one.

[havok24]

Still looking to acquire a goaltender. If you're looking to move one, PM with some ideas.

 

Thanks.

[burlingtonbandit]

Man, I'll be missing Datsyuk and McGinn for October. Hmmm......McDavid.

 

This is a random question but is there a draft lottery system or anything?

[burlingtonbandit]

IIRC...last place team gets 4 balls down to 1 for 16th, randomizer, is final.

 

Is it based off the NHL's? or NBA

[burlingtonbandit]

I'm gonna send out a bunch of proposals via yahoo today. Not sure who owns some of these teams so I'll just see if anything sticks.

 

Any to me? I'll take offers on goalies to anyone interested.

[jaysblue]

Any to me? I'll take offers on goalies to anyone interested.

 

what team are you?

[GD]

Whoever Welsh Corsi is I sent you a wise offer.

 

Frag

[burlingtonbandit]

what team are you?

 

Stall Tactics. Not really looking to trade Schneider or Anderson but I'll still listen to offers. Svedberg and Greiss I'm more open to trading.

[burlingtonbandit]

How many goalies do you have? lol. Anyhow sorry Im not interested in acquiring any goaltending.

 

Iv got Svedberg and Greiss too but i don't think they are technically on my roster just yet since the transaction hasn't gone into effect yet.

[jaysblue]

Stall Tactics. Not really looking to trade Schneider or Anderson but I'll still listen to offers. Svedberg and Greiss I'm more open to trading.

 

Is Svedberg going to start with Rask there?
