Nope, I'm more interested in player roles and ice time for evaluations.
I'm a little curious if the people who respond here use the PDO statistic, or its component statistics, as part of their player evaluations.

PDO is nice to see who is over-performing but it is a combination of a player's offensive AND defensive luck because it just averages a player's on-ice shooting percentage and on-ice save percentage. I prefer to look at just on-ice save percentage to see which players have been lucky/unlucky. PDO is better used as a team stat, IMO.
You can find those numbers here: http://stats.hockeyanalysis.com/rati...t&sortdir=DESC
TOI is king, to be sure, but PDO can put a massive red flag on a player, while also helping to find diamonds in the rough.
i agree. the component stats are more useful when you are taking an in-depth look at a player.
though isn't on-ice shooting percentage a better indicator of offensive luck than on-ice save percentage? on-ice save percentage being more an indicator of luck when it comes to something like +/-?
I don't need to use PDO. If there is a nuggest of information related to PDO, I'll just read it in Dobber's magazine
I'm more interesting in line combinations, PP time, tidbits I pick up reading, Dobber predictions, and the gut feeling I get when watching players play.
