Thank you for the posts FanIn80. I appreciate the effort you put in as I find this interesting as well.
I was thinking about something similar to this a few days ago (but didn’t put any effort into it). I was thinking about a system of ranking players, prospects and draft picks - giving each a value between 1 and 100. I haven’t got into the advanced stats of the NHL, so I wouldn’t have the ability to make up the scale or ranking system.
But say the top player in the league (if you were trading for them today) would be McDavid, valued as 100. What would it take to trade for him from Calgary’s roster and what value would you give each asset in order to equal 100.
Would it be something like 2020 first (20) + 2021 first (20) + Lindholm (30) + Anderson (30) = 100???
I really have no idea what the number value of each player or pick would be but would be nice for the average fan like myself to gauge trade values of players.
Of course there are so many layers, for instance the value of Detroit’s first would be far greater than the value of Boston’s first.
But thanks again, I find things like this interesting. And different people will place different values on the same player, just like a GM would.
