Cage Match Tourney Week 2 – The Biggest Risers/Fallers
Rick Roos
2015-07-15
Down to the final 13 players – who will rise/fall the most in this year’s Yahoo! draft rankings?
Welcome back to the summer 2015 Cage Match Tournament. Last week saw more than 500 total votes cast, so let's continue that momentum into this week and beyond!
What You're Voting on, and Quick Rehash of Key Rules
You're deciding which NHLer's Yahoo fantasy draft position will increase the most in 2015-16 compared to 2014-15, as well as that player's counterpart, namely who'll see his Yahoo draft position drop the most. In the end, we'll match against each other the players you voted as biggest riser and biggest faller, to see who'll have the biggest Yahoo draft position change among all NHLers.
Full "rules" were included in last week's column, but the most important things to remember are that you're voting based on a hypothetical one year Yahoo league where G, A, +/-, Hits, PPP, and SOG are the only six categories and are all equally weighted. To help hammer this home, this week I'll not only list the remaining players with their average Yahoo draft position from 2014-15, but also with their outputs in each of the six categories. That way you can see everything right in front of you.
