Fantasy Hockey 24-25: Positional Scarcity - Where to draft each position

[@ryansutter4291]

It's Fantasy Hockey Season!!! 4.41 K Subscribers. This should be FAR higher than that. You are truly a data master. I discovered your channel before last season and I cannot describe how much of a revelation it was for me and helping me to 4 Fantasy Hockey Championships out of my 5 teams last season. This channel is indispensable. If you play fantasy Hockey and DONT watch Data Draft, you aren't doing your best to win. I can't put into words any better than that. If I could I would say everything good that you can say about something about this channel. You're a master. You know your hockey. Your knowledge is beyond great. You are excellent and I am grateful for this channel. Can't wait for another season with Data Draft!

[@datadraft371]

Thank you so much Ryan 🙏 It means a lot

[@jonnydlive7848]

I’m selfishly glad it’s not higher….I don’t want my league mates watching lol I want the secret kept 😎

Rob Tom is a stud. Won me my second chip last year with that heater against Anaheim in their last game

[@gerrettchiaino3858]

I won my league last year because of you🙏

[@MrAyok1]

I felt that tage Thompson comment in my soul, didn't have my second rounder majority of the year

[@ZakAttack19]

Sams dude ruined me last year

[@michaeldove7997]

Excellent lecture as always, keep up the great work!

[@LittleBagofRice]

Kenny - you are one of the best in the game and this video has some great insights regarding where to find vale in the drat, but I am a a loss to understand how you have addressed positional scarcity here.

[@shakeypudding6563]

This only goes so far. Neglecting Bouchard from the Oilers would be a mistake.

[@ktowniecity7269]

Bouchard at 11th is insane especially in the back of Brent Burns lol

[@airhead3333]

@@ktowniecity7269yeah he was PPG last year and look at how the oilers improved their offence this year…

[@Teedub_8]

Just a watch out on Dobson. I believe his offensive numbers dipped once Roy took over.

[@datadraft371]

I know his ice time did, still blocks a ton of shots and is the pp qb though

[@ktowniecity7269]

good info. Matheson is loved by MSL as well. The hype on Lane Hutson means Matheson is being overlooked. Easily top10 D with an improved PP

[@cherpintow]

Are you still as high on Stutzle as you were last season?

[@jeanphilippe2108]

Nicee vidéo !

[@Chadilac34]

Which 2 would you keep? Cost to keep each in brackets JT Miller (5th rounder) Dahlin (3rd) Bouchard (8th) Forsberg (11th) 10 Team Points League: G 6 A 4 PPP 2 +/- 1 SOG 0.5 HIT 0.75 BLK 0.5 Already keeping Draisital and leaning towards keeping both Dahlin and Bouchard over Miller… Any advice is greatly appreciated!

[@datadraft371]

Proj points based on 3 Year avg data and your settings: Miller: 810 Forsberg: 647 (67gp avg explains why its so much lower) Dahlin: 592 Plus you get dual eligibility with miller

[@datadraft371]

You have to keep Bouchard though

[@Chadilac34]

@@datadraft371 ya Bouchards a lock when only costing an 8th. I can only keep them for 2 more seasons so age isn’t a big deal but starting the draft with 2 elite dmen makes Dahlin over Miller so tempting 😅

[@Murph999]

Keeper league (all categories) ... would you keep Stutzle over Robertson? Leaning Stu.

[@datadraft371]

I personally would, he's more complete and he's younger

[@halfhappy117]

Do you have a completeness chart for cats league settings?

[@datadraft371]

Indeed, it's on the player hub, but I will be tweaking that and hopefully adding adps to it this weekend

[@DeanCRinks]

Yahoo public free leagues categories have changed in real drafts, but not yet in mocks. I think they don't want hockey.

[@MrRocknroll22]

Who do you think will have more win next year between Woll and Markstrom ?

[@datadraft371]

4 of the last 5 seasons Markstrom has been at 22-23 wins, I'd peg him for around 25-30 since has more offensive support and will probably play 50-60 games. Woll hasn't played more than 25 games in a season, I doubt he gets the same start volume. Based on that I'd say Markstrom

[@baseballplayer6858]

Can we get a draft strategy video or is it the same as the last couple years?

[@datadraft371]

We will but I want to do it closer to draft time to get more accurate ADPs and get some mock drafts in

[@petermaniatakos4027]

Great video as always! I'm in a 12-team keeper points league. Which 2 players should I keep? In brackets is the draft round it would cost me to keep them. I'm thinking Caufield and Kempe Kempe (5th) Verhague (6th) Theodore (7th) Montour (7th) Jarry (8th) Scheifele (9th) Caufield (10th) Nichushkin (12th) Kochetkov (13th) Bennett (16th)

[@iceman1333]

What app do you use for your league

[@petermaniatakos4027]

@@iceman1333 yahoo

[@matthewdrake486]

Caufield, for sure.

[@webpg87]

Caufield and the maybe like Koch. Don’t think Kempe is that good value at 5th round if you don’t count hits. It’s okay but not amazing. Don’t see anyone else after caufield who is stand out

[@datadraft371]

If you can wait until mid-november to have him, Nichushkin is your best value here. Can't go wrong with Kempe or Caufield but Kempe will be more well rounded. Verhaege could be an option if hits are not involved but if they are I'd go Kempe for the dual position eligibility

[@Ghost-Of-Kyiv-]

I pick 7th, Rantanen or Makar round 1 ?

[@datadraft371]

Rantanen at that spot

[@jperr825]

Am I missing something, or does Aho not have dual eligibility on Yahoo like you stated?

[@datadraft371]

He apparently does not. I manually went in and validated the positions but that one must have slipped through the cracks

[@akidnamedTONTON]

Who would you prefer as a keeper between Elias Pettersson or Filip Forsberg?

[@datadraft371]

If he could stay healthy I'd prefer forsberg but I do worry about his injury trouble. It's never anything too serious but he almost always missed 10-15 games, last year was an outlier but let's hope he's healthy. He's got slightly more hits and way more shot volume

[@akidnamedTONTON]

@@datadraft371thanks as always 🙏

[@jackhicks2314]

What are your thoughts on Mackenzie Weegar going into this year?

[@xXxxXx-gv6mk]

He might end up on the blues… whatever team he’s on the pp1 will run through him and he’s so well rounded. Safe asf

[@datadraft371]

If he is the PP1 QB he'll be the steal of the draft, if not, he'll be a really complete defenseman that you probably shouldn't use in a plus minus league

[@jackhicks2314]

@@datadraft371Do you think Seider will outperform Weegar in a plus minus league?

[@looseygoosey11]

It looks like your tracker has hits at 0 pts and +/- at 1 point. Is this intentional? I feel like most leagues dont run +/- as a stat and will go with hits instead (if at all)

[@datadraft371]

The point weighting used was the default yahoo point weighting

[@calluml9926]

Surprised you didn’t talk about the value pick in Erik Karlsson. You skipped right over him. He definitely still has the potential and having an ADP of 99 is absurd

[@thetank5642]

I’ve never heard a 34 year old defensemen have potential lol

[@datadraft371]

I'll be doing a deeper dive on D and I'll touch on it then, I'll break down the toi between him and Letang on the PP
