When are we going to get the farm/picks power rankings?

We laugh at Serge enough already. Need to spread that kind of thing out a little bit.

I meant more so I could feel good about something in this pool.

i assume the top categories are the determinants for salary raises - if so, how are they calculated? AHL points per game? AHL points per AHL game?

don't understand why teemu selanne and chris pronger (for example) is not up there.

AHL pts per AHL game (when they are in the lineup).

We chose not to track player performance that closely... it would be easy enough to store all the results in a db and generate all of that info. What has me scratching my head is a good way for people to submit their lineups (and thus can be automagically picked up).

Pronger is #6 on the D list. Look again.

It's just that we (FCHL) are just using all NHL stats (with g=1;a=0.5).. so for us it's:

1. Pronger 20
2. Souray 19
3. Niedermayer 17
4. Gonchar/Visnovsky/Boucher 16

Daniel, you keep forgetting about Zbynek Michalek. He has a PPG of 0.342 so he is my best d-man.

thanks. definitely our way works better for us. actually, i like ours better strategically as well, but i see both points.
p.s. let me know something about welch, i'm just curious (about) what it'd take.



urp

The problem with Welch is that I'm really not sure of his value. One one side he's putting up decent numbers in the AHL, and during the summer all of the sites were gaga on him -- ie. thn had him projected to be on PP1, and eventually he'll be playing with Crosby/Malkin. OTH, he still isn't in the NHL and will need to get past Gonchar (signed through 2010) and Whitney for quality PP time.

true enough. I'll probably give up fair value for him, so if you want to talk trade, you know where to find me. Then once I clean up, just PM me on the FCHL forum

He didn't when I made the list.

Just so you know, it won't be Welch manning the Pens future PP, it'll be my man Alex Goligoski. Kid is leading the nation in scoring from the blue line.

Welch does have a couple of years on Goligoski though -- it will be a few years before he's up in the NHL.

Kris Letang.

Don't forget about him.

shh.. I didn't.
