From the Editor

The main objective at FantasyRef.ca is to provide poolers with the tools and data to draft the best fantasy hockey team possible. This adventure started back in 2015 after viewing some advertising for a fantasy hockey guide that was clearly false. However, at the time there was no way to fact check the false claims as the forecaster didn’t post previous season results. Thus, I set out to create a website that tracks and even ranks fantasy hockey projections.

Needless to say, 2020 has been quite a year. Plans to go “BIGGER” at Fan-tasyRef were changed and instead things have been scaled back. That being said, Forecasters were still held accountable for their projections and I even added some more interactivity to the website.

Cheers to 2021!

For the 2019/20 season, I evaluated and analyzed 20 different sets of projections, one more than the preivous seaoson. New to the mix this season were TVA Sports, More Hockey Stats and Le Pool. We didn’t get projections from NHL Trade Rumors and Roto Wire. NHL Trade rumors didn’t produce projections and I was unable to ac-quire the RotoWire projections before the season started.

The guides that were compared were different in many ways. Some were print, but most were digital. Most had projections for over 300 skaters and 40 goalies. All had Pts projections and many had Goal and Assists projections as well. Below is a brief summary of the guides/forecasters that were evaluated this past season.

THE

2019/2020Rankings

What an unexpected end to the 19/20 season! Cut short due to the global pandemic, the shortened season final-ly wrapped up in September. This led to complications for the fantasy rankings and analysis due to the fact that teams played a different number of games. Some played 68 while others played up to 71. This made it a little bit more difficult to compare projections.

Instead of actual player totals being used to determine forecaster error, the players’ projected Pts, G, and A totals were used. This was calculated by taking the final stat for each category, dividing it by the number of games their team had played, and then multiplying by 82 (the total number of games in a full season). For example, Leon Draisaitl scored 110 Pts in 71 games and was on pace for 127 Pts in a full 82 games season. The Pts pace total was used to determine forecaster error, not the total at the end of his 71 games.

OVERVIEW

As always, the rankings were determined using the algorithm created by FantasyRef.ca. In this guide I have incuded a detailed description of how the calculations are made. Similar to previous years, rankings are creat-ed based on three characteristics: Statistical Category, Sample Size, and Total v. Rank. As all pools are set up differently, our rankings aim to meet the diverse needs of the many fantasy hockey pools.

For skater projections, rankings are provided for four statistical categories: Points, Points per Game, Goals, and Assists. For each of these categories, the forecasters’ Top 300, Top 200, and Top 100 projections were compared. If a forecaster had less than the required number of projec-tions, they were omitted from that category’s comparison. For example, some of the forecasters I evaluated had below 300 skater projections and were excluded from the Top 300 ranking calculations.

For goaltender projections, rankings are provided for two statistical categories: Wins and Shutouts. For each catego-ry, forecasters’ Top 40 projections were evaluated. Rank-ings of forecasters’ Top 20 and Top 10 projections were also ranked, but solely on order of increasing average error in the projections, not by the algorithm.

Finally, for each sample size and statistical category, fore-casters were ranked on their ability to project the players’ overall totals and the order (rank) that the players would finish.

THE TROPHIES

Each season I award the top three forecasters from each set of rankings with a trophy puck. First place is given the golden puck, second the silver, and third the bronze. With more and more sets of projections being released by forecasters each season, and more being included in the rankings, it is gettting tougher and tougher to earn a top three finish. Congratulations to all the winners!

HISTORICAL

Rankings

18/19

18/19 Season Recap

The St. Louis Blues took home first place honors by beating the Boston Bruins to capture their first Stanley Cup. Other than the playoffs though, everyone was Tampa Bay. Kucherov surprised forecasters by scoring 128 Pts, claimnig the MVP trophy with it.

Below you can find the historical record of FantasyRef ’s forecaster rankings. The rankings originate back to the 15/16 season when I first evaluated only six forecasters. I have steadily added projections into the mix over the five years. This season twenty sets of forecaster projec-tions were compared and evaluated. Below are a brief history of skater and goalie projection rankings from years past. The rankings below are based on forecasters’ projections.

In the first three seasons, rankings were only calculated for the Top 300 Skaters and Top 40 Goaltender projections. There were also less forecasters being evaluated. Originally in 15/16, the rankings included only six forecasters. It grew to eleven in 16/17, thirteen in 17/18 and this season nineteen forecasters were compared and evaluated. Below are a brief history of skater and goalie projection rankings from years past.

The first step of the process is to create a weighted average of the players’ Pts Totals for the three most recent seasons. In Stat Shot, Rob uses a 4 - 2 - 1 weighting which as-sumes “that every season’s data has twice the predictive power as the season previous” (pg. 29, Stat Shot). Another common ratio used to make predictions by Tom Tango is, 5-4-3. This ratio more evenly distributes the predictive power of past season results but is still skewed twoard the most recent season. The base projections in our guide use Rob’s 4 - 2 - 1 ratio. If you are interested in experimenting with your own projections and weightings, visit fantasyref.ca to create and manage your own projections.

20/21 Baseline ProjectionsThe 2020/2021 baseline Pts total projections were created using the 3 steps outlined by Rob Vollman in his book Stat Shot (a must read for all hockey fans). These baseline projections are to be used as a starting point on the journey to coming up with your fi-nal Pts total projections for each player. They are also good to use a reference point to see how your chosen forecaster feels about the players upcomnig season, for example, are they significantly over or under the baseline projections.

Summary of Steps to Create Base Projections

Not all players in the NHL are consistent from year to year. Players who have large swings in their Pts Totals from season to season are more likely to have been influenced by random events. Players who have consistent Pts Totals have less random variation. To account for and remove potential random variation, a correlation analysis is done. Compar-ing the weighted average (done in step 1) to the previous season’s Pts Total results, a correlation analysis will determine how strongly the weighted average matched the actual results. We did this by creating a weighted average of players’ Pts totals from the 2016/17 to 2019/20 season and then determining the correlation coefficient to the 2019/20 season.

Once the correlation coefficient is determined, the players’ weighted Pts Totals need to be regressed toward the league average. This is achieved by adding your weighted average (multiplied by the square root of the correlation coefficient) and the league’s average Pts Total (multiplied by one minus the square root of the correlation coefficient) to get a new Pts Total base without that random variation. Rob Vollman eloquently outlines the process on page 31 in his book.

Step 1 - Weighted Average

Step 2 - Remove Random Variation

The final step is to correct for the player’s age. An age regression is a trend in the player’s stat in reference to the play-er’s age. The age regression that we applied to our baseline projections is outlined on the following page. We used the Delta method using 10 years worth of Pts Total Data. For example, on average, 31 year olds produce 4.4 less points than they did the previous season. So 4.4 is then subtracted off any 31 year old’s baseline projection to adjust for the player’s age. For more details about our age regression read the following two pages.

Step 3 - Adjust for Age

In the tables on the following pages you can find Fanta-syRef ’s 20/21 baseline projections. Projections are only made for all players that played in the 18/19 regular sea-son. Players who are new to the league this season (i.e. 2019 Draft Picks) are not included in these projections.

AnalysisOn top of ranking forecaster projections, I like to look for trends and analyze the projections. Due to time constraints and the fact that this is 2020 (yes, I am going to play that card), I have yet to complete this section. I am going add more pages of analysis from now until puck drop on January 13th.

You can expect to see analysis about forecasters’ projections for rookies, teams, positions, worst and best, etc.

Stay tuned!

In 19/20, Forecasters’ average projection error ranged from 6.4 to 17.9 Pts/Player when broken down by teams. Unlike years past, the Edmonton Oilers did not cause forecasters the most difficulty as it were Dallas Stars Pts Total projections that had the greatest average error (17.9 pts/Player). The Ottawa Senators and San Jose Sharks were a close 2nd and 3rd. The easiest team for forecasters to project were the New York Islanders, with and average forecaster error of 6.9 Pts/Player. Pete Jensen had the lost error of 3.5 Pts/Player in his projections.

Scott Cullen had some great Chicago Blackhawk projections compared to the rest of the field. He had an av-erage error 7.6 Pts in his projections, which was almost a full 6 points better than average an 10 points better than the worst projections.

CBS also had some stand out projections for the Ottawa Senators compared to other forecasters. A full 9 Pts better than average and almost 14 Pts better than the worst forecaster.

When projecting the Top 300 players, forecasters (on average) underestimated Colorado, Minnesota, and Car-olina the most. The most underestimated team were the Wild, they had fourteen players crack the top 300 while on average forecasters had 10 players projected in that range. On the other side, the most overestimated team for forecasters were the Ottawa Senators. On average 7.8 Sens were projected in the Top 300 while only 5 actually made it.

The Ranking CalculationThe ranking of forecasters’ projections has been done using the same 8 step calculation since 2015.

Step 1 - The number of projections being compared are selected.We generate rankings for sets of 300, 200, and 100 for skater projections,

and rankings for forecasters’ top 40 goaltender projections.

Step 2 - The absolute error in the forecasters’ projections are deter-mined for each player.The absolute error is calculated by taking the absolute

value of the difference between what the forecaster projected and what the player achieved.

Step 3 - The absolute error is summed in groupings of predetermined size.Skater rankings were summed in groups of 25, where-

as goaltender rankings were done in groups of 10.

For each group of skater projections, the minimum forecaster error is identified and then the relative

absolute error for each of the forecasters is determined using the following formula.

Step 4 - The relative absolute error for each group of projections is calculated.

Step 5 - The complement of the relative absolute error is calculated

Step 6 - The points for grouping are determined.

Step 7 - The number of points accumulated by each forecaster for all skater groupings are then totaled.

The complement relative error is calcualted by subtracting the relative absolute error from 1.

For each projection range, forecasters’ complement relative absolute er-ror is multiplied by the points allocated to each range to determine how

many points at received for the projections.

Step 8 - All forecasters’ total points are compared and ranked from greatest to least.

= 1 - 0.226= 0.774

The number of points allocated to each group of projections is determined by the percentage of Pts scored (or whatever statistical category is being evaluated) by that group of players. For example in 18/19 the Top 25

skaters had 2352 total points. This represented 16.03 % of the total Pts scored by the top 300 skaters. Thus the Top 25 projections are allocated 16.03 points and so forth for the remaining groups

Forecasters can earn up to a maximu of 100 points. However, there is no limit on how low the minimum points could be. In theory a forecaster can

have a negative total points but that is yet to happen. Some forecasters’ pro-jections do earn negative points for one or two groupings of 25 projections.
