![]() Add to that time lost to injury and having to adjust to life on the Rangers it is pretty clear that 70 was a more realistic ceiling than 21-22's 90 points. Tarasenko was coming off a resurgent 90-point pace season, but there had been a few warning signs that he wasn't a new player at 30. Tanner Jeannot was clearly over drafted after his flashy goal performances in 2021-22 that he was unable to maintain, but the significant drop offs for Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane are probably the most noteworthy here. Mark Stone makes this list because he only played 43 games (and because he played some of those games injured). The fourth quarter drop off is a little concerning, but hopefully we can chalk it up to injury and he will return in full form by next season.Īnd because we can't look at most valuable without thinking about the flip side – now on to the disappointments. Up until the fourth quarter he was on a 113-point pace.Īn injury took away some time and potentially some effectiveness, so over his final quarter he paced below a point per game and ended up with the 94 points in 78 games He was able to continue much of his performance from the second half of 2021-22 while getting career high time on ice, shot rates, and expected goal numbers. Anyone who drafted him at that point was laughing. I also clearly wasn’t the only one with his ADP down at 144. Thompson was featured in this column under possible breakout candidates and while I admit to being a little skeptical that was going to eclipse his 70-point season pace from 2021-22 he clearly did so. We should note here that Tage Thompson is also center eligible on some platforms, but since he is also wing eligible in most places, that added flexibility allows him to be listed here. Which wingers provided the most value if we take into account their draft position? Name As long as the deployment and shot rates keep up a similar pace seems very doable going forward. Yes, there are a few points where numbers are a little bit inflated, and yes there are some question marks of the team's makeup next year, but Pastrnak saw career high time on ice numbers, shot rates, and expected goal numbers. This year's 113-point pace was a little bit of a surprise (as was Boston's whole season) but it looks really good. David Pastrnak was the latest drafted of the elite right wingers going into the season, which mostly makes sense after a couple of "down years" of 82- and 88-point paces. This is mostly what we would have guessed, and generally speaking these players were drafted highly. ![]() Once we have that we can compare that expected number to the player's actual number and see who performed the best based on their draft position.įirst up, who were the top five right wingers this year? Name The idea here is that if we compare the draft position to the end of year fantasy points for all players, we can get an equation that lets us say, 'on average a player with X draft position would be expected to get Y fantasy points'. These ADPs are based on preseason drafts so don't take into account leagues and drafts that started part way through the season. ![]() In addition to total fantasy points, I have also pulled Yahoo average draft position data (ADP). In order to grab all of this data I am exporting the Multicat and Big Board Reports for the full season, and doing a bit of rearranging so I can have only the pertinent fields. Obviously this means there might be some general deviations to your league, based on your settings, but it is at least a good starting point. This year the stats include goals, assists, power-play points, shots, blocks and (unfortunately) plus/minus. For the purposes of this article, we are going to use standard Yahoo point scoring to calculate the total fantasy points for each player. 'Most Valuable' is a tricky term that is going to be completely dependent on the league specific context. As a reminder, here is a brief description from that article on the process: We started last week with centers and today we move to right wings. Today we tackle the second of our Most Valuable series. Playoff Draft List Downloadable interactive spreadsheet.
