I did something very dumb. I watched a Tulsky interview. He gave a detailed answer about how analysts need to learn to think things through, understand what they don’t know, and what information they would need to change their minds before they’re able to set forth a meaningful opinion. This should have been so easy.

@DancingPanther I’m watching a conversation about concepts like diagnosis of exclusion and we’re stuck with CUTTER DIDN’T RETURN MY CALLS. Kill me.

Problem with Bader is I think he equates scoring with success.
That is, from what I can gather, it's a crude model based on scoring at every level.

I'd like to see a more sophisticated approach that separated ES from PP scoring, and evaluated draft "success" in terms of WAR, not points.

I think PP scoring at lower levels can be very misleading (look at the top PP scorers in the AHL, tend to be dominated by AHL plus veterans who lack the wheels at 5x5 but who thrive 5x4).

Why bother hiring/drafting the best when there's already some guy in the system?

They wholly and explicitly put themselves in the Cutter situation and they deserve it. They chose hubris and a coach over their top prospect even knowing Michkov was closer than everyone thought. They are incapable of understanding what they don't know because they think they know everything. It's nauseating.

Imagining the Flyers doing a retrospective analysis of the Gauthier debacle using a diagnosis by exclusion concept is hilarious to me. Imagine those mental gymnastics

Equating pre-NHL scoring with NHL success might be perfectly fine. I don’t know because I haven’t seen the long term data. I think exploring that thought is reasonable. It might be more useful as an eliminator than anything else. That still holds value.

Relationships ruined with meaningful prospects counter now reads 2. Let’s see if it ticks up further.

How many players who suck at scoring pre-NHL put it together and become NHLers?

I bet it is rare.

Causality is the issue.
CHL/SHL HCs aren't development coaches and want to win to keep their jobs.

So they play the most talented (and physically mature for their age) players the most minutes, thus the more talented players tend to score more - but it won't be one on one relationship between ultimate NHL value and pre-NHL scoring.

So if you regress points and success there will be a strong relationship, but there's also a lot of left out variable error. A smart team, using more complete data, might be able to identify players overlooked by a simple model like Bader.

A smart team might do that. Shame the Flyers aren't one of those.

Where talent is the active treatment arm, the Flyers are placebo.

I'm sure it's been asked already but is there a good capfriendly alternative now that they're gone?
