This Latvian kid lighting up the Slovaks for Latvia's third goal is FIFTEEN. Holy crap do I feel old.

I keep waiting for Miro's son to call for the rock from the low post. Holy crap is he tall.

Kicked Drummondville-Victoriaville on during the Amerks intermission, the Volts score to go up 1-0.

 

[Chainshot]

Good night for the kids thus far - Amerks win on the backs of important guys, Komy with the GWG, Nadeau with a net front PPG for Jax... now on to watch Moose Jaw and Saskatoon.

Maybe they need more USHL guys?

 

[Gabrielor]

His logic in that ranking is weird.

Levi had a 'disappointing' season?
The Sabres 'lack prospect depth'?

Hard disagree on both. Hard disagree.

I also disagree that Benson is still a prospect (I go by the old school hockey's future rules. 65 NHL games for a skater = graduated.)

Rousek is graduating due to aging out. 3 guys I don't expect them to sign have their rights expiring.

No rankings to the above, just tiering. Few organizations are as strong in the A tier as us. A-/B- has plenty of depth. C+/C has a few longshots with potential still too. We're about to add 8 more picks (if no trades) too.

15th ranked prospect pool is flat out wrong. We have depth. We have high end. We have multiple position options. You'd be hard pressed to find much better.

For a data guy, he's kinda terrible. I still remember him finding out that EP who he was scraping for data double dipped on NTDP games in the USHL.

Was this guy huffing paint thinner when he put this together or is he really that dumb?

I’ve never understood his comparables. I appreciate that. He’s trying hard to come up with a purely data driven model, but it really needs some work. Savoie’s 19-year-old season is the best points per game in like the last 15 years in the WHL and he doesn’t get a lot of play in his model. I suppose I put a lot more stock in primary point production, especially even strength or five on five in the AHL, then he does or else he’d be coming out of his socks about Neuchev.

The problem is that relying on just data can't work because it's a sport and not a math problem.

He said in the replies that Rosen grades out so poorly in his model that it drops them hard.

Think about that statement. Take it all in…every part of it.

And move on with your life never giving him the time of day again

I'm not even sure what the hell he's putting in as data then.

 

[FromChaos22]

It's just points, the progression of points year over year, the league they're playing in, and their age. 19.2 yr old with same stats as a 19.8 yr old will grade higher. The progression is compared to other players with similar progression and how those prospects turned out in the past. If Rosen's progression looks like 30 other players that turned out to be bottom 6'ers, that's where his answers come from.

I don't think he believes everything is explained by the numbers, but that's what the past has shown.

 

[dire wolf]

That's probably the dumbest set of rankings I've ever seen. Not worthy of any further response.

So like, it's worse than if he wasn't even in our system?
