Its not analytics, See my brief summary above.
Progressive? It’s more conservative when you acknowledge statistical data and risk management when making a choice.Very interesting...
Progressive thinking for sure.
Can you post the article, it wont let me access it............assuming you have to pay to have the Athletic?
I don't tink it's an advantage or a disadvantage per se, it's just more raw intel to work with. It's really all about how you use it in the end and if the people in charge are more prone to making the right decision or not.Unless they have some sort of exclusivity with the Habs, I don't see much of a competitive advantage arising from this.
What is to stop the other resource rich teams in the league from being able to access the same intel?
Progressive compared to the gong show of the past 10 years, is what I was leaning towards...Progressive? It’s more conservative when you acknowledge statistical data and risk management when making a choice.
There were a few but many stopped using it because their own analytics groups were able to do as much or more, and many questioned the value of “publicly available data” re: data that’s made available to all NHL teams that sign up (no competitive advantage)I wonder which other NHL teams are using the service.
Exactly, it’s just more data can’t hurt to know more. Our own GDT’s also provide useful data so maybe we could sell those at 10k a pop!If it only coats 100 grand and the info is useful why wouldn't the Habs use it. We pay our good AHLers more than that.
Weird business model. That's 400k$ in yearly revenue to pay for 18 scouts + management, travel fees, etc. Unless all they is watch games on TV...Four NHL teams, including Montreal and Anaheim. Its $100k per year. They employ 18 scouts worldwide.
NHL teams can filter things like, give me all the centers below 25 with a Team 33 score above XYZ worldwide. Then scout the players themselves. Its intended to complement an NHL team's scouting team.
Saying that the data is useless because it’s made for all teams just goes to show how backward-minded are some of the GMs.
Getting data from different sources is pertinent. I mean, they haven’t worked for an intelligence agency and it shows.
Unless they have some sort of exclusivity with the Habs, I don't see much of a competitive advantage arising from this.

At the heart of the service Santos is offering is the “Team 33 Value”, an all-encompassing overall score attributed to each player that incorporates his performance on the ice, the scouting reports, his salary, his age, his injury history, his progression curve, etc. A multitude of elements goes into creating a maximum score of 993. Any player above 850 is considered elite, a typical top-6 forward will rate at around 500, a role player at around 150, and an AHL player will be somewhere around 60.
Team 33 creates this score for every player that is on an NHL reserve list, and they also determine how a given player in another league might perform in the NHL. A player in the SHL that Team 33 gives a score of 175, for example, could be expected to be a role player for an NHL team.
So progressive…We can now blame a company instead an individual for f***ing up a trade
It's only data, itdoesn't decide anythingWe can now blame a company instead an individual for f***ing up a trade
Bench press scores included?
Haven't they just started. It seems normal that it would take time for them to turn a real profit. Though I could see an argument for some media to also get a subscription, does EA still do an NHL game, because frankly them spending 100K and using that as their player data is probably worth it for them, especially since it includes Euro teams for GM modes.Weird business model.

Could this just be used a stop gap until they full fill out their analytics department? Either way, having unbiased outside opinions is never a bad thing, good move imo.
Yea, makes sense. What a breath of fresh air HuGo have been heheI think it’s a bit of both—it gives them some additional time/space to fill out their analytics and scouting teams how they like, along with a chance to see if the service provides additional value on its own. If they renew in two years we’ll know they found it a useful complement to their internal data.
