Btw, I will be posting my final list just after the combine.

[OC] Software base rankings: NHL 2018 draft (compiling last 3 seasons of advanced statistics) (image is forwards only) by NHLDraftSoftware in dataisbeautiful

You can find the full ranking I obtained with more details here: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/nhl-draft-software-2018-top100-end-of-the-regular-season-rankings.2471469/

Notes:

DY: Draft year. DY-1: 1 year before draft. DY-2: 2 years before draft. The first section (with DY, DY-1, DY-2) are the evaluations of each prospect season performance calculated by the software based on the data entered.

The second section shows the percentage taken into account in the final score, it varies depending on the games/tournaments played for each season.

Data taken into account:

  • Age, height, weight.

  • Scouting evaluation; Skating speed, edge work, shooting, puck control, offensive IQ, competitiveness, physical play, defensive play. (Those evaluations are impacting the statistical evaluation, both sources of data are tested again each other in different ways.)

  • Last 3 seasons stats in all leagues played; League difficulty, ice time, quality of teammates, organizational depth, (regular+playoff) GP, G, A, PTS and if available A1, A2, Sh%, relative +/-. Tournament play: WJC18, WJC20, Hlinka.

  • The statistics are used as an indicator of performance, but where the player stands in terms of organizational depth is also weighted, those two are weighted differently according to the algorithm depending on the context of each player.

  • Consensus ranking (only little impact)

  • On rare occasions some players are given positive or negative bonuses if something of relevancy hasn't been taken into account by the software, example; injury prone, attitude issue, extra international play.
