In light of my previous thread where I was trying to gage people's guesses as to which CHL leagues/franchises have produced the least NHL talent between 2005 and 2015, I have completed the rankings.
Methodology:
- A team is counted when the player is drafted from said team. Teams who have acquired players in seasons after the draft do not count as it would be too complicated.
- Only players who have played 150 games or players who are basically a lock to play 150 games (for more recent drafts) are counted in the number of games played.
- Undrafted free agents (Yanni Gourde, Tyler Johnson, Jonathan Marchessault, David Desharnais) that were draft eligible between 2005 and 2015 are counted in the number of games and stats, but not as drafted players.
- Since we are not evaluating offensive impact but overall impact, the number of games played by 150+ players has been chosen to rank all the teams. This allows to include goalies and defensive defensemen.
Without further ado, here are the rankings.
OHL
QMJHL
WHL
CHL
Some interesting stats:
- Most NHL talent produced between 2005 and 2015: London Knights (5197 games)
- Least NHL talent produced between 2005 and 2015: Sherbrooke Phoenix (since 2012-2013), Charlottetown Islanders/PEI Rocket (0), Victoria Royals/Chilliwack Bruins (0)
- Team with most players drafted between 2005 and 2015: Portland Winterhawks (32)
- Team with least players drafted between 2005 and 2015: Acadie-Bathurst Titan (5)
- Highest success rate of drafted players/players who played 150+ games: London Knights (50%), Kitchener Rangers (50%), Drummondville Voltigeurs (50%)
- Lowest success rate of drafted players/players who played 150+ games (outside 0%): Shawinigan Cataractes (5,5%)
- Team that has produced the most NHL points: London Knights (3053)
- Team that has produced the most NHL goals: London Knights (1204)
- Team that has produced the most NHL assists: London Knights (1849)
- The complete non-factors: Charlottetown Islanders/PEI Rocket, Victoria Royals/Chilliwack Bruins
I'll cut the Sherbrooke Phoenix some slack since they're an expansion team that didn't take part in 8 of the 11 drafts between 2005 and 2015.
The QMJHL is the league that has produced the least NHL talent from 2005 to 2015. However, the difference with the WHL, which has 4 more teams, is minimal when adjusted.
Hope you found this interesting! All data is from HockeyDB draft history.
