Hey @Hockey Outsider , when you have the time can you post the benchmarks for all systems in non-table format just so we can copy/paste them and calculate the year by year ourselves?

Ah, thank you, missed them on the first page.

 

[DitchMarner]

I have a question...

Is it possible that certain players who played during the time that Lemieux and Gretzky were dominating the scoring race are at a disadvantage? See my post about whether 1980s wingers were comparatively weak.

If whoever finished second in points between Gretzky and Lemieux is the player whose performance other players' VsX totals are being set relative to, then isn't there a disadvantage in cases such as Yzerman's 1989 season (when had had one of the highest scoring seasons ever by a player other than Gretzky and Lemieux but only finished third in scoring)?

 

[Hockey Outsider]

In theory, it shouldn't matter. See Sturminator's post explaining the method - http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/post-consolidation-vsx-benchmarks.1361409/

The system doesn't assign the #2 scorer as the benchmark in each year. That's the starting point, but it gets adjusted if the scoring race doesn't follow a normal distribution ("normal" meaning routine - not a reference to probability distribution).

For example in 1987, both Gretzky and Lemieux are treated as outliers and earn great scores (128 and 114 respectively). Savard, the highest scoring non-outlier, becomes the benchmark of 100. Then Dale Hawerchuk and everyone else are benchmarked against him. It would have been punitive to compare Savard etc against Lemieux, when he was an outlier.

1989 is a weird season. There are four players far ahead of anyone else. Based on Sturm's rules, the benchmark is 139 (a point total that no player achieved in real life). All four of the outliers (Lemieux, Gretky, Yzerman and Nicholls) earn scores over 100. The rest of the pack (led by Brown, Coffey and Mullen) get compared to the fictitious point total of 139, so their scores are slightly depressed. But I think this makes sense. If we treated 5th place Brown as the benchmark, we'd have four players with historically great seasons - that doesn't feel right. But treating 2nd place Gretzky as a benchmark doesn't make sense either - as Yzerman's excellent season would be underrated, as would everyone else after him.

The same thing happens in 1979 (this illustrates that the method cares about performance, not names - as obviously Gretzky and Lemieux didn't play this season). Trottier, Dionne, Lafleur and Bossy are way ahead of everyone else. They all get 100+ scores, and there's a big drop off towards 5th place.

As a follow-up, here's the average score of the top ten scorers each year from 1980-2017:

1980	92.9
1981	87.9
1982	90.1
1983	96.0
1984	102.6
1985	92.7
1986	94.7
1987	101.8
1988	93.2
1989	94.2
1990	90.1
1991	100.6
1992	95.3
1993	91.4
1994	91.2
1995	86.6
1996	100.8
1997	90.0
1998	96.9
1999	92.2
2000	91.6
2001	102.1
2002	91.0
2003	91.9
2004	95.7
2006	99.1
2007	90.9
2008	90.7
2009	87.6
2010	89.4
2011	90.3
2012	89.6
2013	94.7
2014	96.6
2015	92.9
2016	93.5
2017	94.8

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

The average is 93.6. There's a slight skew in the data, but all of the years are within -8% to +10% of the average. As there's going to be some degree of natural variation in how the top scorers perform each year, that range doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

 

[DitchMarner]

Thanks. I think the adjustment factor is sensible and integral to keeping the results fair.

 

[Hockey Outsider]

The first twelve tables have been updated for 2018. If anything looks questionable, let me know - I've tried to automate this process as best I could, but it's certainly possible that there are errors.

• Points, best seven years: the gainers in the top 100 were Staal (0.6), Tavares (2.1), Stamkos (5.5), Giroux (5.0), Kane (0.1) and Malkin (3.1).
• Points, best ten years: the gainers in the top 100 were Kopitar (3.2), Staal (1.2), Getzlaf (0.1), Backstrom (2.4), Kane (1.1), Malkin (3.9), Ovechkin (0.6) and Crosby (1.9). Crosby now ranks 9th all-time based on his ten-year peak - with no extra credit for the years he lost due to injury.
• Points, career: Crosby and Ovechkin both move into the top 40. They rank 12th and 13th all-time through a player's first thirteen seasons. H Sedin retires in 49th place, D Sedin in 59th. Staal, Malkin and Getzlaf climb into the top 100.
• Goals, best seven years: the gainers in the top 100 were Seguin (4.7), Kessel (1.4), Staal (2.4), Tavares (2.0), Malkin (2.5), Stamkos (0.2) and Ovechkin (0.3).
• Goals, best ten years: the gainers in the top 100 were Kane (1.0), Kessel (2.1), Staal (2.1), Malkin (3.0), Crosby (0.4), Stamkos (3.0), and Ovechkin (1.0). Ovechkin now has the 4th highest ten-year goal-scoring peak (prime?) in NHL history.
• Goals, career: Ovechkin now ranks 11th all-time (one goal out of the top ten). He's also second to Bobby Hull in goals scored through a player's first thirteen years. Marleau climbs past 600 VsX goals, into the top thirty. Nash ends the season with exactly 500 VsX goals; Crosby is about a season away.
• Assists, best seven years: the gainers in the top 100 were Kane (0.7), Giroux (3.2) and Crosby (0.4).
• Assists, best ten years: the gainers in the top 100 were Kopitar (2.1), Zetterberg (0.6), Kane (0.8), Malkin (2.5), Getzlaf (0.2), Backstrom (2.0) and Crosby (1.2).
• Assists, career: H Sedin retires tied for 23rd all-time. Crosby climbs into the top fifty. Getzlaf and Backstorm both surpass 700 VsX assists.

 

[Black Gold Extractor]

Hockey Outsider, for the assists benchmark in 1985-86, you averaged the 2nd through 5th players (to give a benchmark of 85) rather than the 1st through 6th (the normal "averaging" method described by Sturminator, which gives a benchmark of 95.33). Is it now the accepted method to ignore the first outlier or is it just unique because of Gretzky's insane 163 assists?

Thanks for your work!

Good catch. That was a completely subjective adjustment - I felt that Gretzky lapped the field so thoroughly in 1986 that it would have been too punitive to use the standard approach to calculate the benchmark. I know that I documented that somewhere, but I’m not sure if that survived the data migration from last fall.

 

[DitchMarner]

Stamkos looks like he's headed for HHOF if he can up his game in the playoffs and keep scoring at a high level in the regular season a while longer.

I'm surprised Giroux VsX 7 is THAT good. I know he's had three great seasons offensively, but I'm not sure how he has a score off 88 with three finishes in the top five in scoring and four in the top 10.

That was a good call on your part. Personally, I feel that excluding the first outlier should probably be the norm. That way, it maintains consistency, and (for most cases) it doesn't really change the benchmark as much as one would think. For example, in 88-89, the points benchmark goes from 139 to 135. In 91-92, the benchmark goes from 116 to 115.

[VanIslander]

As requested, here's VsX - points per game edition, 1927-2018, looking at three different time frames (sorted by the seven year category).

Abel and Delvecchio dead equal over the 7-year stretch! As usual, they seem so equivalent.
Syl Apps Sr. and Bill Cowley ahead of the Rocket and Boom Boom? Wow.
Conacher ahead of Morenz, Lach ahead of Forsberg, Ullman ahead of Messier, Gilbert ahead of Blake, Lewis ahead of Joliat, ... Love it.
Bourque the top defenseman even though he played injured more often than not (unless Red Kelly's numbers are from his defenseman earlier days), then Potvin, Karlsson and Park.

 

[Dingo]

Do you have a program in order to run numbers, or is it a painstaking process? Im asking because Ive always wanted to see this in a five, or even three year format...

It's almost entirely automated. It's tricky to do set it up properly for consecutive seasons, but if you just want to see top 3 or top 5 years for points, that shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes to generate.

i wasnt looking for consecutive. It would be great to see top 5 years.

There's a lot of effort put into this thread, still not as important as the eye test though.

For the record I've had this set up for 6-7 years (maybe longer - it all starts to blur together after a while). It takes me no more than an hour to update this entire thread once per year.

[Black Gold Extractor]

Looking at the 5-year point-per-game VsX, I just noticed that the gap between Bobby Orr and Guy Lafleur is bigger than the gap between Mario Lemieux and Bobby Orr. Orr is also ahead of Gordie Howe over the 5-year VsX, despite Howe's insane 4-year peak.

Orr was also good defensively.

That's obscene.

EDIT: Holy crap, Orr's also ahead of Lemieux in 5-year VsX in raw points?!

EDIT: Holy crap, Orr's also ahead of Lemieux in 5-year VsX in raw points?!

It's pretty crazy when you think about it. The main reason is Orr missed very little time during that historical run from 1970 to 1975 (aside from 1973, he only missed six games in those other five years).

On the other hand, as we all know, Lemieux missed a lot of time during his best seasons. 1993 falls to 6th place - it was an extraordinarily impressive year, but he missed too much time during a very high-scoring season to have this year count as one of his top five. He missed thirty games in 1992 and 1996 alone (and then a few more in each of 1988, 1989 and 1997).

I have no doubt that Lemieux was better offensively than Orr on a per-game basis. But if you look at things on a per-season basis, I think it's reasonable to say that Orr had the better peak and short (3-5 year) prime because he was, thankfully, pretty healthy during that stretch.
