Hello, as the rosters are now being completed, I've got an idea to make a list of all prospects who will represent their respective NHL organizations. Here it is: 7 Chicago Blackhawks: Ian Mitchell (D/CAN), MacKenzie Entwistle (F/CAN), Jakub Galvas (D/CZE), Philipp Kurashev (F/SUI), Henri...

Is Tampa Bay the best roster in the Cap era and possibly beyond that? I believe they definitely have a case for it. Breaking down the team: Kucherov: a top 3 winger in the league, no one will argue that. He's consistent and has tons of talent. 90-100 points Stamkos: a top sniper, elite...

I'm just going to do a mind-dump of various Yzerman related opinions I have that I think often get glossed over (in general, not necessarily on HoH). These are more "on the margins" things that I think might have some impact on his legacy. Basically, I want to try and flesh out the "Yzerman...

As someone who is into advanced stats, I find Carolina Hurricanes absolutely fascinating. Year after year they under-perform their underlying metrics by a ludicrous amount. This season they have cartoonishly good, 07-08 Detroit Red Wings level shot and shot quality numbers yet their actual goal...

Just read the thread about the 2015 draft comparing it to the 2003 draft, both extraordinary but 2015 already looks to better with many players on track for Hall of Fame careers. So I went and looked at the 2003 draft, this class is now at 1000 games give or take 100 games so their careers are...

Since the league expanded from just 6 teams, which teams have been the most successful? IMO, the top 10 would be: 1. Montreal Canadiens: 10 cups; 11 finals - 82 total team/individual awards won Cup winning years (1968, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1986, 1993) 2. Pittsburgh...

Merry Christmas all, will be back after WJC with updated and potentially very different rankings! 1. RW/C Kaapo Kakko - TPS, Liiga 2. C Jack Hughes - U18’s, USNTDP 3. C Kirby Dach - Saskatoon Blades, WHL 4. LD Bowen Byram - Vancouver Giants, WHL 5. C/RW Dylan Cozens - Lethbridge Hurricanes, WHL...

I've had an idea about changing the offside rule for a while now - I can't remember exactly when I first had it, and I may have seen it somewhere else. If this has been proposed before, feel free to post a source so it can get credit. Essentially, what I am proposing is a dynamic blue-line...

2019 NHL Draft Rankings 1.0 My first rankings of the 2019 NHL Draft Class, and I try to do 3 each year. If you wanna see some of my mock drafts that I have made you can go to my website right -> here <- I really like a lot of the prospects in this years class, and I hope I helped to let you...

The below chart does not include rookies or goaltenders. Any sort of questions on my list or tweaks are welcomed and encouraged below. v1.0: Monday, November 26, 2018. List is made up on a combination of tangible stats (goals, assists, etc.) as well as underlying metrics (CF%, rel CF%...

Alright everybody I wanna hear about how your players have been doing this season. Grade them/rank them/describe them; I don't care how you do it. For :flames: Johnny Gaudreau - A- he's been pretty standard, creating plays all the time. Sean Monahan - A- same as Gaudreau really, just...

We are at the quarter mark of the season and it seems like the highest scoring season in a long time. We have 50 players producing at PPG pace or better! So let's take a look at the top 20 scorers (since I didn't feel like doing the top 50) and compare their up-to-date production against their...

Was initially going to wait until after WJC to post my next list but I feel there’s been so much movement for me that I should update it Here’s my last list *Goalies are not ranked Some recent notes 1. If Dach had more hustle/effort he’d really push Kakko for my 2 spot. The top 3 are all very...

Hey guys, I thought I'd post some of the Puck Possessed issues I have been working on lately, and see if people are interested. My goal is to visualize hockey data and analysis in a way that general fans can understand and enjoy. I also want to make sure the comic style pages perk some interest...

As per request from @Ripshot 43 before the season started, I have been reviewing every goal against in the league on every night since the season started. Early on, I made the mistake of not just making a chart with every goalie to play this year and keeping track that way. So the other night, I...

Here's my top 31 for November. 1. Jack Hughes - US18, NTDP - LC - 5'10 - 168 2. Kappo Kaako - TPS, Liiga - RW - 6'2 - 181 3. Kirby Dach - Saskatoon, WHL - RC - 6'4 - 198 4. Dylan Cozens - Lethbridge, WHL - RW/RC - 6'3 - 185 5. Alex Turcotte - US18, NTDP - LC - 5'11 - 194 6. Bowen Byram -...

At this point last year, my rankings were only 100 players long, so the progression in terms of evening out my viewings has been good. As always, open to any questions or comments. If you think I'm missing someone, let me know and I'll try to focus on them next month. 1. RW Kaapo Kakko - TPS...

I found this kind of interesting. Based on a very small sample, but might worth keeping an eye on. New York seems to have gotten much better defensively, but also seem to be very opporunistic, scoring at an average level despite being the worst team at creating High Danger scoring chances 5v5...
