    A Detailed Analysis of Player Performance and Development by Draft Round December 2015 @OrgSixAnalytics www.OriginalSixAnalytics.com 1 Contents • Introduction • Context: Data Sample/Draft Years • Player Performance/Development • Relative Draft Pick Value • Drafting Success by Team • Conclusions @OrgSixAnalytics www.OriginalSixAnalytics.com 2 Introduction @OrgSixAnalytics www.OriginalSixAnalytics.com 3 Introduction My background is in management consulting and private equity investing; as such, this document is in a quantitative ‘report’ format similar to what you may see in those industries The objective of this analysis is to investigate ‘typical’ player performance and development trajectory after being drafted in a given round, hoping to answer the following: – If a player is drafted in round X, and is ultimately able to make the NHL, by when should they be expected to be a contributing NHL player? – How well does the typical player perform over the course of his career (on various metrics) after being selected in a given round? Within the first round, how do the top 10 overall picks perform versus those taken 11th-30th? – How much more valuable is a pick in the first round versus the other rounds? All things being equal, what should a pick from each round be worth in a trade? – Which teams were the most effective at drafting in the period sampled? Before getting to the questions above, I start with a quick overview of prior work in the area, the methodology used, the constraints of this analysis, as well as covering some basic context

  • Peak Performance and Contract Inefficiency in the National Hockey League
    PEAK PERFORMANCE AND CONTRACT INEFFICIENCY IN THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Scott Winkler April 2013 PEAK PERFORMANCE AND CONTRACT INEFFICIENCY IN THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE Scott Winkler April 2013 Economics Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine what age National Hockey League (NHL) players have their best seasons and how this relates to their contract earnings. The hypothesis is that NHL players have their peak performance at age 27, which indicates that long-term contracts that exceed this age create inefficiency. The study will examine player productivity by taking 30 NHL players and evaluating their performance in the years leading up to age 27 as well as years that follow. Performance measures include average point production and the highest average ice-time per game. The study will also use two OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) regressions where the dependent variables are average time on ice per game and capital hit, both good indicators of how valuable a player is to his team, as well as several statistical independent variables such as points, games played and most importantly age. By gaining knowledge of peak performance, NHL organizations could better manage their teams by limiting long-term contracts to players and as a result lessen the inefficiency that exists in the market.
