Also it depends on league settings and the draft itself too. With drafts you can't have a set formula A, B, C, and D in which you follow down to a T... you kinda have to adjust on the fly, so it's kinda hard to have a cemented draft list. What I can do is maybe participate in a mock drafts with you and tell you my thoughts about it all during the process... PM me Gotlaid on the forums and we can work it out. - Ryan Ma Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:26:57 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22647 Ryan, Would you think to ever post your full draft list on here? - TeamFoster4 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 04:33:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22643 Ah I get it now thanks for clearing that up temek... Changed it over to O-rank - Ryan Ma Thu, 20 Sep 2012 15:49:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22642 O-rank is how players are ranked to the next season by Yahoo so it's the default order you'll see during the draft. Rank on the other hand is calculated based on current season results or previous one's if it's the off-season. So right now the rank you see is calculated based on 2011-2012 results. You can easily see this by changing the stats to 2010-2011 season and see rank change with O-rank staying the same. So to sum it up: O-rank is based on projections and rank based on results. For this article it would have been better to use the O-rank as I assume the meaning of the article was to try to find player that are ranked too low in Yahoo rankings relative to the expected performance. - temek Thu, 20 Sep 2012 14:52:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22641 Sorry I probably should clarify... What I mean by after Staal and Kops is right after them... So Staal is 27.6 and Kops is 26.9... So what I would do is slot him in at 28th... With Thornton/Getz he should be slotted somewhere between Staal/Kops (26-27) and Toews (38.3), so probably 30-35... What I mean by where they should be slotted means where I would slot them if I were to generate my own rankings list. The fact that they're ranked much lower works in my advantage cause I know that I can wait 3-4 rounds later and end up snagging a Getzlaf at a discounted rate instead of having to overpay for similar production. - Ryan Ma Thu, 20 Sep 2012 14:26:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22640 You said Backs is a rd 3-4 guy, but take him AFTER Staal and Kopitar... but then all the other guys that you say are rd 6+, to slot them in between Staal and Kopitar? I think you meant to say take him BEFORE Staal and Kopitar. - BlackGold Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:44:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22639 Peng, I went with rank instead of o-rank... I still don't know the difference... which is probably where our numbers differ. - Ryan Ma Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:43:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22638 Thanks Ryan, when you put your two cents in and eveyone aks a penny for your thoughts, I think somebody is making money :) - Grapes Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:29:52 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22637 Tough one... I think you have to look at your league and see what's being protected? If there's a lot of goalies available then I'd go with the RW, but if goalies are all being protected and it's slim pickings then go with the G. With that said, G always tends to be much more scarce than forwards, at the end of the day there's really only about 30-35 G worth owning fantasy-wise... and there's plenty more RW available down the track. - Ryan Ma Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:09:43 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22636 Thanks once again! - Ryan Ma Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:05:47 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22635 One of the best, by one of the best! Thanks as always, Ma! - GMGates Thu, 20 Sep 2012 12:50:54 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22634 Keeper 6 draft coming up. I'm set @ LW (Neal, Landeskog)and goal (Rinne)with RNH & Eberle @ C. What I take from here is go after RW before a second goalie ???? Roto, start 2 each position, g,a,ppp, shots, +/-, w, saves, save%, goals against. - Grapes Thu, 20 Sep 2012 12:39:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/915-maasquito-bites/4916-undervalued-and-unappreciated#comment-22633 These are THE best, THE best... so good. I love the value in: 1. Where Yahoo! ranks him. 2. What is value is. 3. Where you should draft him. It's perfect! (one note: Your Yahoo! ranks appear to be from Yahoo!s initial start-of-season, which were horrible. They've since adjusted them and N.Backstrom is at #41, MSL at #47... and Niemi's been mysteriously bumped back to #161 - STEAL!) - Pengwin7 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:44:51 +0100
