Kings' prospects scoring in one big sortable chart

by Quisp on Oct 17, 2011 9:40 PM PDT

A few years ago, behindthenet used their pulsing orbs to devise conversion rates for scoring in the various leagues in comparison to the NHL. They came up with the following ratios/conversion rates:

League Translations: how do other leagues stack up against the NHL?

Russian Elite League 0.83

Swedish Elite League 0.78

Czech Republic League 0.74

Finland SM-Liiga 0.54

Deutsche Eishockey League 0.52 [...]

AHL 0.44 [...]

Switzerland National League 0.44

NCAA 0.41

Canadian Major Junior 0.30

The idea being, for example, that one goal in NCAA is the rough equivalent, in terms of difficulty, of 0.41 goals in the NHL. Obviously, there's lots of room to disagree with the specific numbers, but I'm willing to play along.

The point is, I am using the behindthenet numbers as a way to list all of the Kings prospects in one sortable stat sheet. If you think the equivalencies are bunk, then just sort by the league column, and that should work for you. I think I'm going to try to update the stats every Monday. But we'll see how it goes.

Diff. is "difficulty" per behindthenet.com. NHLEq is the player's points per game "translated" to NHL numbers. I used the Russian Elite conversion for the KHL.

Leave it too you Quisp. I’m a big fan of behindthenet, but never thought to use it as you did. I still get stuff wrong even though the numbers staring me in the face, but I try. Very clever, and now I have something else to stare at for a while, and try to absorb.

Haha. Yeah, the “conversion” factor can’t be taken too seriously, as you point out, but it’s a lot of fun looking at this stuff. Toffoli is going to put up ridiculous numbers once again in Ottawa, especially as he’s lined up with that Monahan kid at center.

Subtle way of updating us on prospects

Kind of odd that the ECAC Hockey hasn’t started their season considering everyone else has…

And poor St Cloud State off to a bad start…

All of the Ivies are in their own division, IIRC. It may be that their schedule starts up later than most everyone else’s. Back in my day, I don’t recall there being any hockey until late October, at the earliest.
