Are the number of comparables only 5, taking into account height, weight, size and scoresheet? What other factors are included?

TL; DR:
•By using production metrics (adjusted for era, league & age), along with player size we can determine individual prospects’ most comparable players.
•Based off of cohorts, we can determine an expected value for prospects & compare it to the expected value of individual draft picks.
•This is not meant to replace traditional scouting – it can be used to identify potential steals or busts, add perspective on individual players & help game the NHL draft.
•We plan on making the tool publicly available prior to the 2016 NHL Entry Draft
•Future plans to improve the model – league expansion, prospect tracking & more
