We have run the numbers on all players ranked by CSS and sorted by liklihood of success.

This is that list.

We will be posting 4 other listings as well (NA only, Euro Only, Dmen Only, Forwards Only).

Our purpose  for this exercise is to help identify area’s where our methods are weak and/or lacking. Through discussion with the boys over at www.canucksarmy.com we know that we are pulling similar cohorts to them regarding North American Skaters, but have a ways to go in accurately projecting euros.

No scouting has been taken into account with this list. Some players have been removed completely due to an inability to pull any comparables or a simple lack of data on our end.

But enough chit chat, here’s the list.

The Big List  – All CSS 2015 Draft Eligible Players Ranked by Probability of Success

Cohort Methodology: Within 2” Of Height, Within  +/- 4 NHLE scored in draft season (NHLE’s are normalized over an 82 game season to account for limited games played etc). Overage Player values are determined by cumulative NHLE over all seasons available (+/- 4) and within 2 inches of height.
