Hsoj25 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hey all, Haven't posted here in awhile, but I thought I would share this interactive viz I made that highlights the top players from each draft class, it's a recreation of a piece the NYT did on the NFL draft. It's available at: http://jsl6906.net/D3/NHL_Draft/ Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Very nice. I like stats that are well-presented visually. First immediate take-away: that first half of the first round is the honey pot for players. That's what we should be tanking for. Mid 1st-2nd round is extremely so-so. 3rd rounds are a crap shoot. 4th round+ is just about no-man's land. Except for... Second: According to the stats presented, it doesn't matter when you draft a goalie. Like, at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnkirishone Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 another thing I am noticing (based on the data in this). defensive players or perhaps just defensive defensman are more likely to pan out with later picks then the forwards. I sorted by shifts and it seems to me alot of the later rounds are defensmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
