More Info on The Puckjunkie Predictor?
f course, we all know
that Predictions alone are only so helpful. So we built into
the Predictor a unique ranking calculation. And this is the best part...select Ranking as a category and
the Predictor will actually calculate the order of players based on the
stat categories you choose! And the ranking will change as the chosen
category changes. And because it isn't enough to just know the difference
between the 10th and 11th place players, we give you the raw score (Fantasy
Points) that was the output of our proprietary ranking formula. So you
can tell not just what player ranks higher - but how much actually
separates two guys. And sometimes that is a lot!
We're not just talking about a top 50 here either - we have over 500 skaters and almost 50 goalies projected. And as new players appear, they will be added to the Predictor too. Let's see a magazine do that! Finally, we threw in the option of adding some checkboxes, so when you print your output, you can easily check off players at a draft - or even pre-check them in advance with the Predictor! See - we have been in hockey pools ourselves.
Oh yah - about the predictions (after all, it is called the Predictor!). We don't just guess a number. Our predictions are based on careful mathematical calculations that factor in a player's historical behaviour, age, experience, team, line-mates, coach, injury history, and indicators that we believe have shown consistent benefit in predicting a player's performance. We are constantly updating those predictions to account for injuries, call-ups, ice-time changes and trades.
