Rack's Ranks - Pre-Draft Team Rankings

[rack55]

The following are my pre-draft SFHL Rankings. It is based on a statistical system that I have developed to try to gauge each player's overall fantasy value. Before you criticise my system, keep in mind that I have placed 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 9th in the league since it's inception. Apparently my system has some holes.

Furthermore, these are not my predictions. Its 100% based on last year's stats, not on potential or projections.

The players used in the team rankings are only your keepers, plus the top 3 F prospects and top 1 D prospect. Prospect rankings are strictly stolen from Dobber's current list.

Prospect Goalies aren't in play, since they will have little to no effect on this season.

The Worst Player is simply the lowest ranked keeper you have.

Enjoy!

[kooch]

hahahaha... as much as i love this, it is sooooo flawed... but its still great!! haha

[rack55]

You're out of your mind Kooch. It's flawless!

[cam]

Hahaha... Well done! I love reading stuff like this. A little late though... I never knew Duchene was my worst player... Maybe I could have unloaded him for a late UFA pick before I submitted my list. Oh well.

[rack55]

Although I appreciate your aggressive sarcasm... Once again, this is all based on last years stats plugged into a spreadsheet.
Averaged over 82GP, Duchene had 20-20-(-16)-11-13-0-3 last year.
40pts and 11PIMs don't rate very high on Racks Ranks.

[gmgoater]

koivo is better than ovie now haha damn, i cant wait for ovie to score 60 under oates this year, i hope hahahaha. well probly 30 goals as we wont see hockey till january.

[cam]

I'm staring to think that Rack's Ranks are for the birds.

[rack55]

-16, 0 SHP... what did Duchene bring to the table again?

[cam]

A plethora of heart, promise, potential, gusto, drive, determination, and innate ability. Racks Ranks need to delve beneath the surface, into the under-belly of the beast!

[rack55]

I'm gonna need a pay raise if I'm expected to rate the Gusto of 600 some players.

[cam]

Well that's not in the cards.... So you're gonna have to make time.



Well done, great read!

RackAttack just finally got to read this (awesome) haha plus I like where Les Canadiens stand. Tuna agree you should be rank 1 in Goaltending but you see the west coast bias..

I will be doing a write up after the draft - in virgs draft review and future watch. As it looks like we will have a few slow months after the draft tomorrow. Again boys sorry I cant be there, its shame but I will see yah at 9ish for GM Virgos entry picks and reminder ufa's then some beers....Good Luck to all and Good speed freeze assssssshoole...make sure there's some doritos leftover for me plz... ;D
