Finally got all the stats compiled. Now that we're two years in, there isn't any point to keeping this in either draft thread as it includes the stats for both years.
By my count, there are 39 faux GMs that have participated across the two seasons. Of course, usernames change so there may be some duplicates - if anyone sees themselves on there twice please let me know so that I can combine the teams.
GMs are credited with all their picks. This leads to a few anomalies - some GMs only did one mock draft, and others did multiple teams in the same draft. This shows in the number of picks. This also leads to anomalies in that some players were selected multiple times. Since there is no fair way to determine which GM gets a player, both GMs get a player. The most interesting case is @Patrick Division who selected John St. Ivany and Radim Salda in 2017, both of whom went unselected in their first year of draft eligibility but were picked by real teams in 2018.
The standings are broken in half - GMs with at least 1 NHL game played (19), and GMs with no NHL games played (20). In general, there are more players selected in 2018 that have already played in the NHL than in 2017. No goalie selected in either draft has seen an NHL game yet. Standings are sorted by Games Played, then Points, Wins, GP/Pick, DI Score, and finally Pick Corsi. The first 4 stats are obvious, DI score is a method of determining accuracy in drafting (the closer a player was picked to the actual draft position, the higher the score) and PC is simply discrepancy from mock draft to actual draft (a positive number means picking players late that actually were drafted early, negative means picking players early that were drafted late or went undrafted). All players that were selected in the mock drafts but go undrafted in the real draft are given a selection positing of 218 for purposes of these statistics.
I've also included the GM breakdown for @Rebels57 as an example he is currently in first place. Anyone else that wants theirs posted, let me know and I'll add it here in the thread (I just don't want to deal with posting all 39 if nobody cares). I am also willing to email anybody the whole excel sheet if anyone wants to play with the data - just PM me your email address.
*NOTE* - stats are approximate. It takes a lot of time to check the stats on 400+ players, and I use hockeydb so the stats are a little bit out of date. I'll do another update sometime in the offseason which will be more accurate.
