Fantasy Mock Draft Part 3

[Panda Bear]

Keep it the same.

 

[LT]

I knew it was naive to hope for one of Marino/Hronek/Kubalik/Olofsson falling...

There goes my list...

 

[Blinny]

Changing rules mid game usually ends up a disaster

But after the entire draft is over a 1-2 day window to make player only trades wouldn’t be that bad an idea

Some people will probably complain that they would’ve drafted differently if they knew they could trade.

Yeah this.

No trades in this game.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Trades next game tho. I miss screwing my self over in the long run for short term gratification

Exactly.. could’ve hoarded centres or whatever.

 

[EvilDead]

I mean...it's not like people don't hoard them anyway from the way people pick players

 

[Panda Bear]

Addeson has what, six centres?

PandaScores 2.0



Please note that while PandaScores 2.0 are a perfect representation of every player and carries no inherent flaws whatsoever, they're merely pretty good but not perfect. For example, KentNilsson's team, Calgary, is likely better than #24. Panda's team, Chicago, is likely even better than #1.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Best I've ever done in PandaScores!

Jury is still out if my team will score a goal this season.

 

[McDrai]

Cracked the top 10 #Pandascores

 

[BeLeafing]

I'll take 4th for now, I feel like I'm drafting better than last time to this point but lots of time left

 

[Panda Bear]

Please note the outrageous advantage picking in the top half of the draft gives you for first round selections.

Feedback on player scores appreciated.

 

[Horse McHindu]

Middle of the pack on the Panda list.

I am neither happy nor am I sad.

ps - actually, I am a little sad. I’m missing Two and a Half Men re-runs right now on TV.

Makes me feel better about picking last but ranked 18th

 

[Canucks LB]

I am on now, sorry, You guys were crazy fast, had no idea i would go twice today

Seems like despite the perceived advantage picking at the top, the scores lean heavier towards those who picked later in the draft. Depending on what side you put the Rangers (16th draft slot) on, the average rank of the back half is 3.5-4 spots higher

 

[Joey Moss]

You may have mentioned this earlier @Panda Bear but what did you change for the rankings from the first one?

I have a 25 point difference between the 32nd best and the 62nd best while there's a 140 point difference between #1 versus #32.

PandaScores 2.0 would posit that people at the back end of the draft are just, well, drafting better. If people drafted according to these rankings--even with like a 10% variance--it would be effectively impossible for people in the back half to catch up.

 

[Canucks LB]

I would like to give a shout out to the 8 pm's I got to remind me to make my pick

Surprised I'm #11... Not too happy with how my draft has been thus far, would definitely change a few of my picks if I had the chance

 

[Panda Bear]

Right. It's been overhauled a lot.

The first time around, I did something like this:

• CF% * 0.345
• CF% rel * 0.345
• DF% * 0.462
• DF% rel * 0.462
• GF%
• PDO-adjusted points per game
• TOI vs elite competition

Turns out the CF% to GF% correlation this year is like 0.182, so that was flat out wrong. None of the stats were score- or venue-adjusted. I decided that CF%, DF% and GF%--even if isolated to the player's time on ice--are too broad/team-oriented. No positional scarcity was accounted for.
