Finished my main league's draft last night. Thinking of releasing my projections for free.
I usually run off of Dobber + others but this year I built my own ahead of anyone releasing numbers but did make some later tweaks influenced by Dobber, A&G, Laidlaw and Dom.

Running on 3 hours of sleep. 4 month sleep regression is real. Newborn snoring on my lap, wife sound asleep. But I can't sleep, laptop is lighting up the bedroom with fantasy hockey spreadsheets. 2nd annual projections Let's goooooo π₯π₯
Matthews is hitting a lot more than usual to start this year. He has 14 hits to go along with 17 shots through 3 games.
Took him 15 games to get to 14 hits last year π€
He's currently 6th in the league in hits with only 2 less than Jeannot and Ovi!?!?

... Crazy what a tiny team of only ~17 employees out of Toronto π¨π¦ have built πͺ
If a league isn't on Fantrax, I'm not joining. Full stop.
The award for the most surprising 2023-24 performance in banger fantasy leagues goes to:
Frank Vatrano.
37 goals
60 points
24 pps
272 sog
85 pim
156 hits
78 blks
He was a top 10 RW while most had him projected outside the top 50 RWs. I had him RW 62 π
What a fucking year.

@DLee075
DBC is pacing for a career high 291 shots.
The problem is his SH% is 7.8 compared to his career average of 15.5.
He's 12th in the league for the lowest goals above expected with -3.4
Also his EV center is Derick Brassard.
Everybody calm down. DeBrincat is not the problem.
How does SEA score 7 goals on Saros but BOS canβt get a single goal?
How does Vasilevskiy post a shutout against CAR but posts an .850 against MTL?
Fuck I hate goalies
All eyes on
#FlyTogether
Cutter Gauthier next year, especially in banger leagues.
98th percentile in SOG/60
80th percentile in Hits/60
With top 9 deployment, this man will bang and is worth a reach in redraft leagues. Sky high potential.

Filip Forsberg was a mutant this year. Career numbers in every cat that matters. Biggest surprise though? 82 GP π€―
The highest projection for him was 81 points and 271 sog (

He put up:
94 pts
347 sog

Good for top 5 LW in banger leagues.

Thereβs a unique class of Ds who are elite shooters and elite shot blockers.
Josi is obviously king.
But itβs worth bumping Jakob Chrychrun and Zach Werenski up your
#FantasyHockey
draft list also.
Based on injuries in FLA, Gustav Forsling enters the conversation as well.
Gudas has 16 hits so far in 7 games this year
Trocheck with 16 hits in his last 2 games πͺπΌ
Heβs up to 6 points, 30 shots and 24 hits in 8 games already.
Took him 18 games to get to 30 shots last year.
#NYR
I don't get why so many folks are obssessed about ADPs.
When it comes to drafting do you find that your competition actually follows ADPs?
Never been the case for me but I guess that might be because I stick to banger cat and competitive leagues where ADP is meaningless.

Not nearly as much movement here as Ds.
The only omission from my mid-season update last year is Jack Eichel who's down from 15th to 22nd.
Only new addition is Jack Hughes who jumped from 22nd to 11th.

Some notes π
Is Lindy Ruff's decision to put rookie Luke Hughes on PP1, while relegating Dougieβwho just racked up a career-best 74 pointsβto PP2, among the most surprising moves this year?
Luke: 66%
Dougie: 43%
Yes Luke had decent odds to get there at some point... but to start the year???
One of my best projections last year, looking to build on an unreal breakout campaign again. I have Timmy as C7 in banger leagues.

is already becoming a household name in banger leagues. The rookie's put up another banger of a night with 2 points, 7 hits and 1 block.
He's up to a monsterous 3 points, 13 PIMs, 26 hits and 9 blocks through the first 6 games.
Not much to say about Nathan MacKinnon π Only Connor and Leon top him in offensive categories.
I have him projected

in points and
#1
in SOGs... just gotta stay healthy π€
#GoAvsGo

All in on Sergachev next year. In March he took over PP1 and finished the year (20 GP) with 3:14 PPTOI and 70.6 %PP vs Hedman's 1:19 PPTOI and 28.5 %PP.
In the playoffs he continued to lead Hedman in PPTOI and overall TOI.
Mikhail has arrived.

#GoBolts
My home league is doing a slow draft this year, starting in mid August... it'll probably still be running when I usually drop my projections and rankings... Won't be able to release that after my draft π
Over 5k downloads last year... I wonder how many of those are leaguemates!
So pumped to see this guy's ADP... if you factor in his 12 playoff games with the 21 games he played without Barrie:
Bouchard had a 82-game pace of 89 points and 57 PPPs π
Unless you're in a banger cats league without +/- haha.
25 PIMs
67 hits
106 blocks
Under 200 SOGs plus likely only PP2 and under 15ish PPPs... I have Toews all the way down to 41st D and 186th overall in my banger cats league π
Seeing Devon Toews has an ADP right now in the middle of the 6th round, which could end up being a steal. Scored at a 71-point pace last year and ranked in the top 4 in plus/minus in each of the last 2 seasons. If he stays healthy his value will be through the roof.
#GoAvsGo
Pacing for 50 points, 260 shots, 150 blks... the first 5 weeks were so, so promising.
I'm starting group therapy, all the Werenski owners who reached on him in drafts are welcome π«
Been playing around with some scatter plot visualizations to lay out banger league values along two axes, offense on y (G, A STP and SOGs) and defense/banger cats on x (PIMs, hits and blocks).
Here's the top 50 D in multi-cat leagues π
Big fan of Owen Tippett after his breakout campaign where he finished on a 66 point and 320 SOG pace in his final 20 GP with a stellar 20:25 TOI.
Elite SOGs and blks with solid offense and hits makes him RW27 and plenty of room to grow.

I think I'm higher on Svechnikov than most, maybe because I project 82-game paces and not injuries.
But how many guys will pace for 70+ points, 250+ SOGs and 150+ hits?
Only 3.
Brady, Ovi and Svech. (Maybe Timo)
Huge value.

Last year, over 2,800 fantasy managers used my rankings. This year, aiming for even more impact. If you find value here, a retweet, comment or like goes a long way. β€οΈ
Or you know, keep it to yourself if you donβt want your opponents to find this haha, I get it.
Vincent Trocheck (157 ADP) is a potential steal this year in points leagues. The 2C in NY with assist-machine Artemi Panarin on his wing. Trocheck averages about 2.5 shots/gm and we expect that to rise with passes from Panarin.

Radko Gudas, the warrior known as The Butcher might be getting grey, but he's still a man on a mission and the most unique banger league asset.
Last year he was THE ONLY player to pace for

β’ 250+ Hits
β’ 150+ Blocks
