Hi Steve, job well done...are going to update your projections during the preseason?
Great work Steve.
Thoughts on Nylander? I'm seeing a huge swing between your prediction and Dobbers.
Edit: I actually just listened to the KeepingKarlsson episode in August where you were the guest and this exact question was asked haha. Let me know however if your answer has changed since.
NHL Trade Rumors page on Facebook posted the top 300 - Pts Total Projections and the average error for each player.
Dobber Hockey Forums legend Steve Laidlaw did very well in this format.
