That post will look hilarious when he's considered a top D in the league.

This has to be a joke right. Look at those comparables.

Sanderson is a tough prospect to judge with those kind of evaluations.

They typically underrate defensive dmen, which for the first few years of development, Sanderson very much looked like when only looking at stats. He's since added at lot of offense to his game but the skill set was always there.

I think he's going to be a stud for us, in the Slavin mold. I think he has more offensive upside, but you never know how those traits will translate.

I have no clue how that guy gets his rankings… must be from his ass

The system has a weight on more than just 1 year so Sanderson's lower offensive numbers earlier in his development impact the prediction. Basically it's heavily biased against late bloomers or defensive minded players who don't put up big numbers. It doesn't mean anything though because as an example here is Cale Makar's D0, D1 and D2 numbers which are pretty comparable

The twitter commentary is why people hate analytics.

He wouldn't know what he is looking at.

Byron Bader still thinks Erik Brannstrom is going to be a star player. Judge accordingly.

Why does he show D3 season for Makar but not for Sanderson

 

[dumbdick]

This guy is guilty of a really common academic trap. You build an opaque model that produces data that is not representative of reality, and then you fall in love with the thing and start analyzing the derived data coming out of it at par with direct observations of evidence. Results like this should be a big red flag to say "this model clearly isn't working here". But instead it's further down the rabbit hole.

At this point you're not doing analysis anymore, you're just playing with a toy you built.

Because we aren't in the future lol

Ahh i thought it was suppose to be projection of D3 year

 

[Tragedy]

Haha all good. That is the reason Makar jumps up so much because it accounts for his first NHL season where he put up 50 in 57 games

Really well put, had me laughing out loud on that one. Definitely a common trap!

That’s fine if he wants to get paid like a 3rd pairing dman which he would be here I’m fine with keeping him. In a ideal world him and Gus and some other high but not top quality piece get packaged out for a elite player

 

[jake1]

Sort of ancient history at this point, but Sanderson named first team All American. FWIW Power and Hughes on the second team.

To be fair, he does recognize some of the blindspots of the model such as missing on defensive wizards, I don't think he buys into Sanderson's offense, which that model is biased towards. Heck, he basically says anything less than Slavin would be a terrible miss with a pick that high which to me suggests he undervalued Slavin.

To be fairer still, I don't think data scientist modelling geeks can sit in front of a computer and develop models with the ability to accurately project the future of teenagers.

Sanderson hasn’t had a D3 season yet

Mm no his model has been ok in the past. So he gotten some validation. He’s admitted there are some blind spots on it.

It’s just a guy on Twitter who is an hockey fan having some fun with stats and charting

Yeah, this is a good piece of context. Between 2010-2015, there's probably an average of around two guys per year who is on par with/better than Slavin per year between the 3rd & 10th slot... and most of them are F.

Marner, Draisaitl, Rantanen, Huberdeau, Werenski, Ehlers, Jones, Nurse, Lindholm, Scheifele, Couturier, Hamilton are the guys who some might consider better/on par with Slavin but personally I would take Slavin over about half of them. Only clearly superior players IMO are the first 4 forwards. When you raise the cutoff to 5, you could eliminate almost half of those guys and are left with Rantanen as the only clearly better player (imo).

If Sanderson becomes Slavin.... holy shit man, we're set. And I think most would acknowledge this, as Slavin has been between 5th-20th in Norris voting every year of his career outside of his rookie season.

More documentation would be better, but it's still pretty clear what is going on in his model.

Nobody is treating statistical models as on par with direct observation, and let's not act like direct observation in this context is anything scientific. NHL teams directly observed Panarin not getting drafted. They also directly observed drafting Yakupov first overall.

No doubt. If they could, teams would hire them instead of scouting.
