Advanced metrics and analytic stats bring a lot of interesting angles to a scouting discussion, but it definitely should never be THE main tool you use to rate a player. There's just too many variables and in the end you can make the numbers say pretty much whatever you want them to.
Agree but his models is not advanced metrics or analytic stats.
Its baseless, simple formula.
A point in the NHL = 0.3 CHL points, 0.4 liiga points, 0.5 shl points, etc etc.
And then, how a player has scored versus how others have scored and how have they ended up. (Stars 0.7ppg career or NHLer 200games+)
Nothing else is taken into account, and how do we compare league production really? Context are so important and so different.
Its bullshit.
He had Slafkovsky 14th overall, Stutzle 13OV, yet he masturbate on players like Matthew Phillips.
Because that is exactly what his model indicate. Points and nothing else.
