Wow. Too much read into stats as per usual from that site. No one is drafting by NHL-e. Massive oversimplification of things. I find the numbers mildly interesting. Certainly nowhere near a substitution for scouting as this guy attempts to make them. Real head shaker for me but I'm very skeptical of any attempt to scout players by numbers and not actually watching them. Give me scouting reports every day over this stuff

For those that do love stats, apparently this site is a goldmine if you have the scripting skills to pore through the poorly laid out results and do some lists or calculations.
