More Info on The Puckjunkie Predictor?
Of 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.
