Decided to post my projections just for the interest sake to see how good (or bad probably) they are. There's the added benefit of not having my own team in the league which creates significant bias towards my own team. I assumed there's a dummy commish team which would finish dead last in every category so every team gets 9 extra points. You can clearly see what typically happens with auto-drafting teams (Humberside H) getting fairly strong skater lineup and absolutely terrible goaltending to go with it.

Rank	Team	Skater pts	Goalie pts	Total pts
1	Habs7079	53	37	90
2	TBD	53	33	86
3	5 Finger Dea	49	32	81
4	Canuckleheads	49	26	75
5	kluu	60	14	74
6	Humberside H	67	7	74
7	StanLee's_Cu	44	27	71
8	Laendarian	58	11	69
9	StaveOffElim	36	33	69
10	Password is	42	24	66
11	Leaf Nation	49	15	64
12	Dead Things	30	32	62
13	Phil The Thrill	34	21	55

Updated "Reach Factor" based on all four Dobber league drafts:
[Most Negative Value means a lot of players taken well before their ADP.]


+11.4 habs7079
+6.7 Humberside Huskies
+4.7 TBD
+3.8 Password is Taco
+3.7 Canuckleheads
...
-1.2 5 Finger Death Prust
-1.7 Phil The Thrill
-2.4 StaveOffElimination
-6.6 Laendarian
...
-16.6 StanLee's_CupofGlory
-23.4 kluu
-31.5 Dead Things
-31.8 Leaf Nation

Interpretation in conjunction with Temek's Projected Standings:
High in Temek Standings & High in Reach Value - suggests team value-drafted players wrongfully passed over by other GMs
High in Temek Standings & Low in Reach Value - suggests team is reaching for the RIGHT players
Low in Temek Standings & High in Reach Value - suggests team took bad players rightfully passed over by other GMs (ex. JVR)
Low in Temek Standings & Low in Reach Value - suggests team is reaching for the WRONG players

A look at the break-away group in this league.

95.5pts StanLee's_CupofGlory. Team was projected in bottom four in reach factor & middle of Temek projections. [Outside of Holtby, there isn't a top 30 skater. Worth noting this team is +69gp at skater slots... which could make the lead a mirage.]
92.0pts TBD / Breaking Ekblad. They were ranked 3rd in reach factor and 2nd in Temek projections. [A team that knew a good player left on the board, especially Spezza @ 147, Kuznetsov @ 190, Ramo @ 315. Amazing team considering they drafted Price 1st round! Team is +49gp at skater slots.]
87.0pts 5 Finger Death Prust. They had a middling reach factor in 3rd in Temek projections. [Beautiful skater group with SEVEN top 60 players: N.Backstrom, Hoffma, Toffoli, Gaudreau, Kucherov, Josi, Klingberg.]

At the bottom:
Leaf Nation & Dead Things were pegged both low on projections and low on reach factor.
Leaf Nation is 11th of 13. Dead Things is 13th of 13.

Pay no attention to the Location heading in the upper right corner I say!

One of many examples of opening my mouth before reading all the information provided.

It's become really tight. Going to be real interesting to see how this shakes out in the coming weeks.

Still tight between a few of you - should be an exciting stretch run!

How does one join one of these type leagues next year?

How does one join one of these type leagues next year?

There may be some early information in the coming weeks - more promotional rather than having joining information, which isn't set yet. It's still to be determined if/when this early info will come and in what format as some details are still being sorted out. However, at least there will be more information in the summer on how to join.

Thanks for your interest, and spread the word!

Big trade:


Steven Stamkos TB - C
Patrick Kane Chi - C,RW
Alex Galchenyuk Mon - C,LW
Traded to Password is Taco

David Perron Anh - LW,RW
Dustin Byfuglien Wpg - RW,D
Jaroslav Halak NYI - G
Traded to kluu

[habs7079]

No small thing to give up Letang, Byfuglien, and Halak, but major props to Password is Taco for managing to land two of the league's top five scorers and some guy named Stamkos. Quite the haul.

Tons of movement in the standings to go with all these massive trades. Going to be down to the wire for the top 2 spots.
