With the World Cup starting tomorrow and the NHL season right around the corner, would be interesting to see how everyone rates their players individually.
I know with analytics there is a new movement to rate players, but the good old ''eye test'' in my opinion is still a good measurement too, especially by fans who watch their club 82 times a year (or more).
Please rate each player on your team out of 10 in the following categories:
Offensive Production - not just how much points a player made last year but perhaps take into consideration historically how they've done and also what they should do next year.
Skating - how great of a skater is the player? Take into consideration top speed, acceleration, balance, power, edge work, etc.
Hockey Sense - this one is tough to evaluate, but basically rate how ''smart'' a player is out there, either offensively or defensively. Decision-making abilities, smart plays, positioning, vision, etc.
Defense - how a player behaves in all zones when his team doesn't have the puck. Also include penalty-killing abilities and defensive zone breakouts.
Physicality - basically how physical a player is and how often he engages in physical situations (hits and fights) -- small pest such as Marchand, Gallagher would have high physical ratings too.
You can use the following template (try to seperate Fwds from Ds):
[table="head;width=470]NAME|OFF|SKA|SENS|DEF|PHY
Sidney Crosby|10|9|10|8|6.5
Brendan Gallagher|7|8.5|7|8.5|8
Cal Clutterbuck|4|6.5|4.5|7.5|10
|
Andrei Markov|8|7|9|7.5|2.5
[/table]
You can use ratings from 1 to 10 and can also use half-points ( like 2.5). The ratings above are just exemples.
