This piece features a first glimpse of the brand new 2019-20 SKATR interactive player tool. To start, I thought we should look at Auston Matthews — because there are definitely changes underway.
I’ve been quiet on MLHS lately while I spent long hours working to rebuild SKATR from scratch, owing to the loss of its mainstay data source, Corsica. That forced me to survey the best available information from multiple sources and bring it all together.
SKATR is a tool that lets you compare and assess players at 5v5 across 23 different measures, covering box score, underlying metrics, relative to teammate on-ice statistics, and context indicators.
