HERE WE GO AGAIN FOR 2019/20 These team rankings are based on the ELO rating system. This is purely mathematical based on wins and losses. Each team has a score. That score increases or decreases based on wins and losses. The amount of change is based on the score of the opponent. Eg. If a...

Round 2. I'll start off this time by clarifying that the specific rankings aren't the be all end all. They are made just using WAR. It is a 1.0 template list that could be further refined with the eye test and additional data. That being said, here is the top 10: McDavid Crosby Stamkos Matthews...

Quite a crazy draft with the original scouts getting the top 5-10 way off. Draisatl jumps into the top spot but Boston cleans up with Pasternak jumping into 2nd place from mid 20s and two other draftees jump into the 1st round. Larkin jumps into the top 5, and Point and Arvidsson jump up HUGE...

Here are the top upcoming prospects from Slovakia. I thought it'd be more interesting to rank them, although my rankings should be taken with a few grains of salt. The 2020 draft class is the only class where I've watched every player, the other classes are mostly based on stats, reputation and...

I have been thinking about writing this post for over a month now. I've noticed on different areas of this website, John has been disrespected or generally underrated or underappreciated. What I've read: John got overpaid John never reached his potential John wasn't a great #1 pick John's...

As of August 28th (which it nearly is now in Japan), it's been 32 years since Canada Cup 1987. What a great tournament and some great memories. I was a kid of 11 then, and Rendezvous '87 and this tournament were my first exposure to international hockey. I thought it'd be fun to re-view the...

This year I will go alphabetically mostly because it will be more interesting to me that way rather than going top to bottom. As towards the bottom, I get sad and on the top, it's boring. This year especially, since most of the top teams just focused on keeping players which is very rare...

Let's start discussing the rankings for 2021. IMO Stankoven has all the tools to be the 1st overall pick ; Logan is a very fast skater, strong edges, quick hands, heavy wrist shot, and an extremely hard worker. Stankoven is comparable to Nathan MacKinnon with his amazing puck skills at high...
