yeah fair enough, I just didn't think of the most fair way of doing it and was playing around with the idea of what's the best way of presenting it... I just wanted to look at the past 15 years and say hey SJ got this much out of their draftees, and NJ got this much.

I meant it more to be just an informative article to show hey they really are middle of the pack at drafting and these guys aren't very good at getting the most outta their draftees.

In your example I think there is a lack of data because you were only using 2 player's data which skews the numbers quite a bit, but in my sample sizes the minimum was CLB and Detroit with 8 player's data. Most teams were around the 15 players mark. With most teams on the 15 players mark I think the data tends to sort itself out. Most teams have their good draftees and their bad draftees, it's on an avg that usually sorts them out.

But one thing I do have to acknowledge is that picks in the 90's a lot of them were later bloomers meaning it took them a few years before they got to 80 points, where as the young kids in recent years jumped to the 80 or more point mark in their rookie seasons so that helps teams quite a bit too.

I also agree with what you said about teams who rushed younger kids like Chicago with Kane and Toews getting the benefit of the stats compared to a Detroit not rushing a Brendan Smith... but nothing I can really do about that.
