isn't the model indirectly taking injuries into account? Like Bader said it doesnt matter why the player had such a poor season (poor performance, mental health, injury): a bad year in such a crucial developmental season, regardless of cause, has really bad developmental ramifications.There is some value in Bader's model, as well as other models used for projecting prospects.
But models aren't everything. If a model can't accurately account for a prospect missing 80% of their season due to hip surgery, than that model has some very obvious flaws.
I think Nazar couldve spent another year at college and been better off for it. Kid basically lost a whole year. We'll see how this year goes. If he produces at a high level in the AHL id say that would quell most of our concerns
