Ken Holland's Draft Success
The people at The Copper and Blue (the Oilers' SBN blog and our enemies for at least one more night) take a look at the overall results and number of Ken Holland draft picks that turned out to be "top players." I find some of the divisions a bit dubious and some of the definitions awkward, but it's still interesting to look at what Holland's done to keep the cupboards stocked with players ready to take NHL jobs.

I’d love to know what’s “dubious” about it.

just as a matter of understanding
why split the draft slots in that way? i understand that you had to define “top player” in a certain way, but i’m not going to debate it even though i don’t agree completely with the definitions for defense and forward. and i read it in a semi-rush, but what did the column “League exp. Top Players” in the second table mean?
you’re right that “dubious” wasn’t the best choice of words. and upon further reflection, i’m probably making something out of nothing in complaining about it. i was able to at least follow the analysis, and it was a well-written piece.
You wanna tell me that to mah face?!
Multiply the league average “top players” percentage by the Wings picks in the slots and that’s the expected average top players for that amount of picks.

It might be worth asking Scott that question in the comments.
