What Does It Mean To Draft eP rfectly? An Evaluation Of Draft trS ategy In The aN tional Hockey League Abstract We define what it means for an National Hockey League (NHL) team to have been successful in drafting, and use this retrospective framework to determine if any teams exhibited a sustained edge in drafting from 2000 to 2009. At a high level, we compare actual draft outcomes to teams’ perfect draft outcomes. The perfect draft can be thought of as what would happen if a general manager (GM) could redo a draft with complete knowledge of prospects’ career values as well as other teams’ choices. A prospect’s career value is defined here as aggregate Point Shares (from hockey-reference.com ) through the 2015-16 NHL season, though any valuation metric can be used. When drafting perfectly, a GM picks the best player available as is commonly prescribed, but they start with their last pick and work backwards.

  • The Amazing Rise and Fall of Bob Goodenow and the NHL Players Association (Revised and Updated), Key Porter Books, Toronto, 2006, Pp
    Reviews 117 Bruce Dowbiggin, Money Players: The Amazing Rise and Fall of Bob Goodenow and the NHL Players Association (Revised and Updated), Key Porter Books, Toronto, 2006, pp. 310, pb, US$15.95. In 2003, Bruce Dowbiggin published Money Players: How Hockey’s Greatest Stars Beat the NHL at its Own Game (Macfarlane Walter and Ross, Toronto). It provided an historical account of major issues and developments in the National Hockey League (NHL). It predicted that there would be a major battle between owners and players in forthcoming negotiations over a new collective bargaining agreement. This prediction proved to be correct. The 2004-2005 season was disrupted by a 301 day lockout as the owners sought to impose a salary cap on players. It exceeded the previous longest dispute of 234 days which had occurred in Major League Baseball in 1994-95. Amongst other things, the lockout resulted in a cancellation of the Stanley Cup. This 2006 publication, as its subtitle suggests, provides information on the various events associated with the unfolding of this dispute and the subsequent capitulation of the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) and the abandonment of its leader Bob Goodenow. The major strength of this book is that it provides a lively account of economic and industrial relations developments in hockey (or what Australians call ice hockey). Dowbiggin is a leading sporting journalist and commentator based in Calgary. His stock-in-trade is in reporting on interviews he has had with major protagonists in the hockey world. Money Players does not contain a bibliography. Historical information that he provides draws on the works of David Cruise and Alison Griffiths, Net Worth: Exploding the Myths of Pro Hockey (Viking, Toronto, 1991); Russ Conway, Game Misconduct: Alan Eagleson and the Corruption of Hockey (Macfarlane Walter and Ross, Toronto, 1995); and Gil Stein, Power Plays: An Inside Look at the Big Business of the National Hockey League (Birch Lane Press, Secaucus, NJ, 1997).
