Jack Campbell was by far my biggest miss. Bobby Rowe and Jack Laviolette were my biggest reaches.
My initial list was too harsh on pre 1900 players. I overcorrected for the small player base and ended up underrating several 1890-1895 players. In particular, a guy like Weldy Young.
In comparison to the final list, I was harshest on
Jack Campbell (ranked 37 and I didn't even rank him!) (1880s)
Gord Roberts -30 (1910s)
Weldy Young -28 (1890s)
Paddy Moran -24 (1900s and 1910s)
Allan Cameron -22 (1890s)
I was strongest on
Ernie Russell +28 (1900s)
Jack Darragh +28 (1910s)
Lloyd Cook +17 (1910s and 1920s)
Tommy Dunderale +17 (1910s)
Riley Hern +13 (1900s)
I expected myself to be most wrong on early players, but it's a bit of a mixed bag. I definitely sold too high on offensive only players. Jack Campbell, Allan Cameron, and Weldy Young are the three I would most change going forward.
I thought I would be highest on Ernie Russell, as I think it was my biggest misread too high. But someone loved him even more!
It surprised me that no one else ranked Bert Corbeau. Strong defensive play with some decent scoring years in 1918, 1920, and 1923.
Overall, I think I corrected most of my poor assumptions in the second round and was quick to adapt when new information was presented. This project was a lot of fun and by far the one I learned the most in.
