2021 Dobber Expert Stanley League

Yo but that's why it's the last night!

Make the underlings do all the prep work.

Calling me an underling won't help with getting the results, though!

Some strange results so far, I'll be interested to see what the final three drafts (yours plus two Entry) have as an impact. The top of the draft is fairly predictable but things start to get weird as soon as round 4-5.

^Props to you for making that.
I remember doing it when I managed the leagues back in 2012-2015... fun project.
Let me find a link to one that I did...

Sad Pengwin can't find my PDFs...
But I found one awesome one that horrorfan did in 2017/18:

[I won the Wales that year... I think I had either a #3 or #4 overall pick and got Ovechkin!]

I mean, I do have it, but that's not the point of the exercise!

Plus, giving it away would skew the overall results. And the Experts League is probably the most fun to compare with others.

You'll have to figure it out on your own!

In past years in the Pro leagues, I always check the experts results prior to our draft and would use it is a gauge of when I might have to reach for certain guys that I like.

I was hoping to have time to sit down and compare the pro leagues at the very least this year but so far no luck on that

Once everyone is drafted, I would love to see what you put together!
Always love seeing those kinds of things. (I keep draft results for all my in person drafts).

Props in advance.

I am actually doing one (a spreadsheet) that I will post after the Expert, Entry - Norris and Entry - Adams are done.

Niconasr is spot on. The first few rounds are very predictable. But Round 5 on - almost 25% of the picks are either reaches OR folks picking from their favorite teams or players. Later rounds (10 - 12 onwards), this number goes up to 50%. I will share the sheet as soon as it is ready (once these last 3 drafts are done).

Cheers

Ya well, wait until I mess up all your trends.

Do we not have a thread for this years league?

Draft tonight! So stoked to finally be up with the big dogs.

You can see how an earlier goalie run in Stanley relative to other leagues, pushes the ADP of the left over goalies further down.
