All the ones with recent shiity drafting results.I wonder which other NHL teams are using the service.
They also compare the value of each draft pick and compares it to NHL players based on the last 15 years of draft data. i.e. If a team wants to acquire a player and is willing to pay a 2nd round pick...then it compares that specific players 'value' to the value of that specific pick in that part of round 2.Yes.
Basically Team 33 was created by Mike Santos, ex assistant GM in 3 NHL teams. Its brand new, started prior to this season. They hire pro scouts who attend games and give qualitative scouting reports but also quantitative. These then get added into the single value called "Team 33 Value", a single overall grade for each player taking into account his performance, age, progression curve, injury history, salary etc... They also estimate example X player in SHL with a grade of Y would be a grade of Z in the NHL.
Its new, its not universally accepted, this single value grade and some people wonder its value if every team will have access to it. And will teams have access to the underlying aggregate date.
That's it.
Its not analytics, See my brief summary above.
Possibly, but devil's advocate...when it comes to political vetting...it seems better than sports? I guess because the stakes are much higher financially.For the world in general actually
For the moment, only 4 teams are using that scouting service, according to The Athletic.
A quote about how it works.
It's only data, itdoesn't decide anything
