Some final thoughts on what we got right and wrong in our goalie outlook rankings
Last week, we published an attempt to rank the goaltending outlook for all 32 NHL teams. It was a three-person effort, with Jesse Granger handling the scouting duties for each team’s current situation, Scott Wheeler grading the prospect pipelines, and Sean McIndoe looking at contracts and cap situations. By averaging out and weighting the scores, we wound up with a countdown from the worst outlook to the very best.
If you missed the series, you can find it here:
And then, in a stunning development that nobody could have foreseen, some of you didn’t agree with each and every ranking.
That was fine. It was even a big part of the point. But the twist here is that we didn’t necessarily agree with the overall rankings either. After all, all three of us had our own views, and the final list had come together by averaging them out. That meant that we might not necessarily buy the exact order either.
Scott is enjoying some well-earned vacation this week, but Jess and Sean figured it would be worthwhile to take one last look at the project, and have our say on what we got right, what we think we maybe didn’t, and any final words we can offer.
