    Episode 9: Trading Thoughts

    Dr. Dan & Jesse are back to chat about the biggest trade this season: Sam Bennett for a 2nd and a 4th! Plus, more trade action from their league and of course a breakdown of the Quinn Hughes deal where the guys reveal their (unfortunate) Canucks fandom. The trade serves as a jumping-off point to talk about how analytics might evaluate competitive cycles and other fantasy hockey moves, and other topics we hope to cover in future episodes. We also review hard-launching the podcast onto Reddit, review some comments, feedback, and topic suggestions from Redditors (including a quick overview of the Zero-G strategy), and reveal the existence of the DeepPuckingValue subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepPuckingValue) Plus, Jesse reveals his Machiavellian trade process, and Marine Biology Corner returns for a Not-Safe-For-Work edition about ... Sea Snail Orgies??? Follow along at https://www.instagram.com/deep.pucking.value/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepPuckingValue!

Dr. Swartz is a Professor of Statistics & Actuarial Science at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC, Canada, well published in scientific journals with over 60 papers in sports analytics and literally “wrote the book” on sports analytics, as an editor for the Handbook of Statistical Methods and Analyses in Sport.

He recently published his newest book, Pickleball Moneyball: Optimize Your Game With Analytics: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DL84L6R2, while his previous book, Insights from Sports Analytics https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0FH6GW49C is a great introduction for anyone looking to get into the field of sports analytics.  Leave us a comment and tell us your favourite part of the interview for a chance to win a signed copy of Dr. Swartz's new book!

    Episode 4: Dr. Chuck and the Sloth's Visual Bleep Bloops, aka Total Cluster Puck

    Dr. Dan and Jesse explore Dan's first attempt at analysis: a Principal Component Analysis based on the previous five years of NHL data from Moneypuck, sorted by their home league's scoring settings. Turns out, McDavid and MacKinnon are great! But so are Zack Werenski, Mackenzie Weegar, and Tom Wilson. The guys talk about the effectiveness of PCA as a Fantasy hockey tool, surprising revelations from the data, and lament Jesse's continued inability to trade Alex Ovechkin.
