I just found it on corsica's website and am looking into it now. It's an interesting idea for sure.
I would like to know more about how everything is weighted.
Initial impressions for me is that goals scored to me seems to carry a little too much weight. I assume that is why Ovechkin is first in the league for offensive WAR value and Gaudreau is 105th.
You could make an argument for Ovechkin there I suppose, but not Gaudreau at 105.
If WAR is predictive, I surely won't be upset if LA, Anaheim, and Vegas all tumble in the standings this year.
I also saw your article that had the Flames rising up to 14th next season. Did you happen to run the stats for the Oilers? I'm curious where team WAR would put them.
