Where to look for Straka and Pitkanen replacements
I have my MS Excel schedule tool that looks at teams schedule over a selected period of time and assigns a number value. It looks at the number of games, home or away and the quality of opponent. -- The higher the number the more potential for points from your players. Dobber uses this tool for his “looking ahead” section but it can do more then just look at a week. I use it when looking for injury replacements too.
As a resource up here for you guys, I though I would post up the results for the next 4 weeks to help look for a replacement of Straka or Pitkanen both of whom are estimated to miss about a month. I list all the values for NHL teams over that period (starting October 24 and ending November 20) to help you decide what teams to look for a replacements on.
The numbers are intended to estimate how many points you would get from a point-per-game (ppg) player over that time period. You can pro-rate it for a 0.5 point-per-game player by multipling by 0.5. Or a 0.75 ppg player by multiplying by 0.75.
This might not be clear so post some questions up here if you want me to explain it more.
