With the inaugural RDHL season over a quarter of the way complete, I thought it would be fun to look back and identify the hits and misses in the NHL and Prospect drafts! I've compiled a list of the best and worst players in the NHL draft based on their production thus far in the season, and a list of the best prospects (from the first 10 rounds plus a few standouts) according to their production.
I've ranked the best players/prospects according to their total FPts production, and ranked the worst players according to their average FPts. This methodology aims to reward players who have contributed the most to a given team's performance on the "Best Of" list, and to not penalize injured players who have played less games on the "Worst Of" list. I haven't gone through the worst prospects, because that's extremely subjective at this stage.
NHL Draft:
Best FA Pickup:
Stempniak, Lee - 58.5 / 2.79 - Better contributor than any player who was drafted in rounds 16-22!
Prospect Draft:
