"Fantasy hockey leagues are won in the margins. Everyone gets quality players early. The difference between finishing middle of the pack and taking home the trophy is how you use those late-round picks (and then how you manage waivers and trades along the way, don't worry, we'll be here for that, too). ESPN Fantasy Hockey tracks average draft position ( ADP) out to a 10-team league, which means 230 players."
"If a player has an ADP lower than 200, they are being selected in the majority of drafts. If they are in the 200 to 210 range, it's a coin flip that they'll be drafted. In the 210 to 220 range, we are talking closer to one in four. And if they are past 220 ADP, odds are they aren't being picked at all."
Fantasy hockey leagues are won in the margins. Everyone gets quality players early. The difference between finishing middle of the pack and taking home the trophy is how you use late-round picks and manage waivers and trades. ESPN Fantasy Hockey tracks ADP out to 230 players for 10-team leagues. ADP below 200 means the player is selected in the majority of drafts; 200-210 is a coin flip; 210-220 is closer to one in four; past 220 is unlikely to be picked. Late-round value comes from context: second-unit power-play roles, depth-chart shuffles, injury replacements, or landing on improved teams that create pathways to meaningful minutes and production.
