I have a hypothesis and I feel like someone here can check it in one tenth the time it will take me.
Goals to assist ratio (G/A): the amount of goals scored by a player divided by the amount of assists the player has.
My thought is that as a draft eligible player’s G/A gets larger, they become more likely to fail to impress relative to their draft selection.
What I would like to do is sample all top 10 picks, all top 30 picks, and all picks to see if there’s any learnings to be had.
I’ll do top 10 picks at some point with the resources I have but I don’t know how to efficiently do more than that.
What would your thoughts be on this? If a player demonstrates low talent in assists in junior then I would think they’ll struggle to adapt to the NHL, when precision passing is a huge chunk of offense. Conversely, do players with low G/A ratios end up being impact NHLers? I imagine someone has done this analysis before so if anyone knows where that is I’d be interested in a link.
