Hi everybody! I've been very pleased to hear the great feedback on the prospect cards.
Just wanted to let everybody know that I will be camping this weekend and therefore unable to accept access requests until Sunday the 12th. Apologies for the inconvenience, and remember that there are Tableau dashboards available that you can access without requests.
Thanks for your patience!

The latest interactive Tableau dashboard is now live for Patreon subscribers. This one shows some interesting information about player deployment - their quality of teammates and competition and how it relates to their own time on ice.

(Updated November 25)
If you follow me on Twitter, you might have noticed that once a week I post a set of visualizations showing rankings in various individual, goaltending, and team stats. It occurred to me when I posted them yesterday that there was no good reason that you guys shouldn't have access to this stuff, automatically updating. So last night I put a she...

The protected lists are out, which means hockey fans will be putting together their own versions of the Seattle Kraken.
With that in mind, I've put together a special expansion edition of the WAR roster builder specifically stocked with only the players available to the Seattle Kraken ahead of the expansion draft.
Update: This list of perks has been updated on June 20, 2023
Hey guys! We've added a lot more stuff in recent weeks so now's the perfect time to send out this index which links to all perks available to you as $5+ subscribers.

With the 2021 regular season wrapped up, now is a good time to focus on tying up some loose ends and updating some of last season's visualizations. While a big update to the Roster Builder is coming soon, the timelines are the first thing up.

With the season essentially over, I thought it would be a good idea to offer player cards that specifically showed only data from the 2020-21 season.
Like the goalie cards, I added these cards directly into the Player Cards 3.0 sheet so no need to request access if you're already on it.
Back by popular demand, I'm excited to offer what I'm calling the "Classic" Player Cards - the ones I created in the naive month of February 2020 and which got me started on this very weird but blessed endeavour in the first place.
