Just a question: How can a player have a higher probability than Potential?

Depends on the player.

Take Dan Paille for example.

Probably 7.5 Potential, but he's a hard worker and his Junior game has NHL written all over it. Therefore the probality that he lives up to his 7.5 Potential is very high, 8-8.5 or so. Can't miss.

It's not just the rare talents that are can't miss.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Just a question: How can a player have a higher probability than Potential?

Easy.

Safe picks are called safe picks because the player is more likely to reach their potential, even if it is less than another player who has less probablility.

If you're looking at a guy who has a potential of 8 but only a probability of 5 and then you look at a guy who has a potential of 6 but a probablity of 9...the first one has better potential but isn't all that likely to fill it out, the second one doesn't have as much potential, but should fill out into it some day.

 

[Vagrant]

Just a question: How can a player have a higher probability than Potential?

The potential is their maximum ability. Their probability is the likelyhood they will reach it. If a player has a talent level ceiling of being a 5, and there is a good chance he will reach that, then his probability of reaching that is 8.5 or a number that is higher than his potential. This is a player like i've listed about in Shay Stephenson, he has a ceiling of 5.5, which means he's not going to be in your Top 9, but there is a good chance he will achieve being a 5.5. Therefore, I gave him 8 probability he would reach it.

If a player has a lot of skill and is a question mark, he gets a high ceiling but a low probability he will reach that ceiling. Like Rob Schremp. I'd rate him as a 8 potential and 6.5 probaility.

Just a question: How can a player have a higher probability than Potential?

I think you're misunderstanding the idea of probability. Probability is the likelihood a player will reach his previously mentioned potential.

Malkin-9.5-8
Fleury-9.5-7.5
Whitney-8.5-7
Welch-8-7
Salmonsson-8-6.5
Anshakov-8-6
Talbot-7-9
Armstrong-6.5-8

[LaLaLaprise]

Beatnik... Lapierre is a much safer bet to make the NHL than Urqhart.

Well Urquhart if he makes the NHL would be more of a top 2 line player. Lapierre i feel is more a "safe pick" to make it. He is big, plays more physical and is a better skater.

Id rank Urqhart a 7 and Lapierre a 6 for poterntial and Probabilty 6 for Urquhart and 8 for Lapierre.

Dallas Stars:

1. Trevor Daley 7.5/7.5
2. Antti Miettinen 7/7.5
3. Jussi Jokinen 8/6
4. Loui Eriksson 7.5/7
5. Shawn Belle 8/6.5
6. Dan Ellis 7/7
7. Yared Hagos 6/8
8. Vojtech Polak 8.5/4
9. Tobias Stephan 7.5/5.5
10. Junior Lessard 7/6

Probably way off on a few of these...but oh well

 

[LaLaLaprise]

I still think Tobias Stephan is underrated by everyone, stars fans included. He should be higher than Ellis id think.

Problem is, he suffered a serious hip injury that has put him out 6 months...no one knows exactly how he will recover from it.....he was tearing up the Swiss league before the injury. If he returns to that form, then I'd definately rank him ahead of Ellis.

Yeah injuries can be tricky. But he can rebound from it. He is still young, i think 21, plus goalies hit the scene pretty late.
