This is the repo for my blog post on NHL Draft Analysis.
Note on data: See
https://www.hockey-reference.com/draft/NHL_2000_entry.html
http://www.hockeyabstract.com/testimonials/nhlplayerdata1967-2013
for access to the data I used.
Note on SQL:
Originally, I wanted to build a MySQL database, and I populated it, but soon after realized I would need to include all of the data, and in the name of speed I gave up the dream of adding it all to a database and just pulled data directly from the source for the most part.
Notebooks:
If you, too, want to populate your own MySQL database, you can use the load_db Notebook.
Otherwise, the three analysis notebooks each cover a different piece of the analysis.
Analysis - Checks out the rosters of stanley cup finalists
draft_analysis - Analysis relating to probabilities for draft picks and teams
Turnover_Analysis - Analysing general player turnover
