FCP Bob 1,323 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm going to take a teach a man to fish approach.How I would approach this pool would be to create a spreadsheet with all the listed players and their 2008/09 stats and figure out how many points in total and per game each averaged and compare that to salaries to see who is undervalued and overvalued based on last year. I would take a look at the undervalued players and see which of them I expect to do even better this year and those of course would be the ones that I would focus on. I also would look at things like injury history and stay away from players like Gaborik who are made of porcelain and of course I would look at each player who I'm interested in and try and project their current situation for this year.

Waffles2003 1 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I am not sure if you can see this but here is last years stats and salaries for each player:http://freehockey.fanball.com/research/stats.phpWhat I am looking for also is players that changed teams and will benefit a lot from their moves.I am also looking for up and comers (Stamkos? Ryan?) Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Use statistics (the mathematical field), most notably expected value.Also what Bob said.We aren't going to do the work for you. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 thats a really interesting and unique scoring system..You dont see it a lot..I think high scoring dman, are very valuable. There arent a lot of them.only a handful of D score more than 10-15 goals a yearCheck out Bogosian's stats, take his numbers over a full season he would of scored 16 goals last year.

coesillian 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Make a team and post it here for critique and suggestions to improve it.Backstrom at 4.3M looks good.steals: Tavares. Giroux, Peverley, Voracek, Neidermeiyer, Cambell, Kariya, Ebbett.Guys with SOG and PIM: Hartrnell, Morrow, Backes, Brown...Goalies: I've banked on Emery doing good this season in most of my pools, he's probably cheap.

Zach6668 513 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Careful on Ebbett, he's on the bubble to even make the Ducks this year. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 i really dont get this...Do you guys forget he was booted out of the NHL and ended up in Russia.Yeah, he had some discipline problems but if he can keep that together then he can be a very good goalie. Do you forget he brought the Senators deep? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 i really dont get this...Do you guys forget he was booted out of the NHL and ended up in Russia.And exactly why I think everyone overrates Philly still.edit - although not by much, the Flyers are a very good hockey team, it's just that the most important position is a HUGE question mark at this point in the season. It's a gamble, could pay off, or they could go down in flames like they have the last 15 years trying to make it without a sure fire #1 goalie... Link to post Share on other sites
coesillian 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 It is somewhat risky but he's a good goalie playing behind what was a good team last year that added Pronger. It's a good gamble to take, the upside is huge and the downside is unlikely IMO. He'll be interesting to follow. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yeah, I don't think he's going to be an epic failure or anything, I just don't think he's the guy that takes them to the Cup, or puts them over the hump, wins them the big games, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Alright, 12-team league. 6F, 4D, 2G. Initial draft, we're keeping 6 players per year. 5 bench spots. Head-to-head, categories are G, A, P, PPP, GWG and W, SV%, GAA, SHO.A 'fun' league, with several people missing the draft and new to the league. I don't love how the early part went, as I had 9th pick. As an example, Parise and Semin were both auto-drafted in the late teens! I thought Parise was already drafted, and am now trying to trade :)Forwards:Iginla, Cammalleri, Gagne, Setoguchi, Pominville, AntropovDefence:Green, Wideman, Blake, ZidlickyBench:Jason Blake, Dustin Brown, Kubina, Kuba and WisniewskiGoalies:Backstrom, Steve MasonOverall I'm happy, one of the better teams. Backstrom and Mason were the 9th and 12th goalies picked, so they were eagerly snapped up by me. Not sure how much I like Iginla and Green over Parise and Semin, and that is haunting me, but hopefully I can make a deal.Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yeah, he had some discipline problems but if he can keep that together then he can be a very good goalie. Do you forget he brought the Senators deep?It seemed to be me like he 'just didn't get it' and that he needed a 'wakeup call'. Obv going to the KHL for a year would hopefully do it.Always prefered Emery over Gerber but not sure he could have turned it around. Link to post Share on other sites
