Great article. Got a question tho, can you compare all habs d-men youngster to see who rank where ?! Still wonder where Reinbacher Barron Mailloux Engstrom can slot with Hutson Guhle Xhekaj Harris Struble. I'm kinda lost and want to understand how stats can shed some light. THX!
I'm not that high on Slafkovsky, but I was surprised he ranks below Engstrom (is his high rank a quirk of your model?) and Tourigny. What might explain that?
Great article, thanks for the in-depth write-up

Slaf just had two average years in a row in Liiga and NHL. Hence the model not being so fond of him. Engström had a great season in the SHL.
