Draftwired (NHL) is now 'live'

[SLAYER]

thats a personal thing with me. It's actually much easier programatically to use scroll bars. I hate scroll bars. I like the navigation buttons much better. Personal preference, you'll get used to it, trust me

Yup. As a programmer, scroll bars are much easier. Just preference

The rankings - final word for 2017

they are what they are. My goal concerning the rankings for year 1 was to just get something semi-reasonable out there and get people used to the app.

Anyone who'd like to help me out next year with the rankings (or this year, I suppose) is encouraged to pm me. Strictly volunteer

Are you making this for yourself, or for others to enjoy?

Because you seem a little defensive towards criticism and feedback, when it seems like that's exactly what you came here looking for. Yeah, it's "free" but almost everything is free online nowadays... people are spoiled, need to make your stuff stand out somehow. The worst way to do that, is by referring to feedback as "complaining" and assuring them "they'll get used to" things they don't like.

One developer to another, that's my feedback. Neat little tool though. Sabres are pretty much guaranteed Heiskanen, sweet.

This site is great for rankings: http://www.mynhldraft.com/2017-draft/2017-nhl-draft-rankings

They compile 12 of the leading rankings available online and average them out. Obviously it doesn't fully meet your needs as you're only going to be able to use it for the first round. But I think users are more tolerate of Wild variance outside of the first round anyway. So I think that site would be a great baseline for picks 1-31 and then you could use a smaller collection of lists to supplement the remaining rounds, even if the sample size will result in some fairly whacky picks. I mean, that's how the draft usually goes outside of the 1st anyway.

 

[Kerricthebig]

Auto-select function places to heavy a priority on "team needs". This causes far more variance to the picks in the early rounds than you are likely to see.

A good start, will need tuning to become closer to an accurate representation.

this is by no means the finished product. I had to get release 1 out so I can gather info and fine tune the 2018 vrsn, thx

I will check this out tonight. I have a some other work to do today. If I can get the top 31 reset - i will do so. Give me a day or 2, thanks

Good Job... I like it

Good Job... I like it

Thank you, I do admit that encouragement spurs me on

Now I'll be gone for the next 4 hrs.

Any consensus rankings would be better, such as denominator's:

Next step would be adjusting for McKenzie's final ranking.

I think it's a great start and reasonable people understand that this is version 1. Thanks for contributing a new and tangible tool for NHL draft nuts to enjoy. There isn't enough of this kind of stuff and we SHOULD all be grateful for the effort. Well done!

 

[Butchered]

Yeah, seems a little wild. I like the UI though. Relatively easy to navigate.

Got Makar @ 14, Bowers @ 45, Lias Andersson @ 48.

I'd take it fa sho, but ain't gonna happen.

 

[drew5580]

my activation codes dont work. tried twice

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Nice work

Ran this a few times for the Jets and every time Vilardi keeps falling to us. I just can't see that happening

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

I spent about an hour trading down; and collecting about 30+ picks. Haha.

That's exactly how I feel and exactly why I am not interested in clicking that link.

 

[NotProkofievian]

they are from thedraftanalyst. find me a better source instead of complaining

It's not complaining. It's feedback. You know, what you asked for?

 

[Jerzey Devil]

anyone else having trouble with the link not working?

Yeah on safari from an iPhone it keeps making me reload after telling me tablets have to be in landscape and that's as far as I get.

 

[BillDineen]

Just got Cody Glass at 44th overall! I think you allow for a bit too much slippage.

 

[Skobel24]

Got Vilardi at 16th.
Glass fell to 24th
Rasmussen fell to 34th
Poehling fell to 38th.
Ratcliffe fell to 81st.

He certainly is defensive. But the draft was still fun to do.

I have apologized. Your are right, let's move past that. everyone has their moments.
