Welp, I’ve done it. I’ve encorporated Michal Grosek into the blog. This piece, however, is not about the six-foot two Czech beauty. It is about how I will be projecting the 2019-2020 standings before and throughout the season using my statistical projection model - GROSEK.
So what is GROSEK? GROSEK stands for General Rank Of Statistical Ev......ok, I’m only kidding. I named it after the former Sabre. It is a projection model that caculates the value of each player in on-ice situations (even-strength, powerplay, and shorthanded) and applies these calculations based on the current projected lineup. This value for each team is then cross-referenced with the team’s remaining opponents.
