PuckProspectus likes to keep our readers one step ahead of the competition. To this end, we have developed a tool called VUKOTA. Following in the tradition of PECOTA and KUBIAK, VUKOTA is PuckProspectus’ player projection system. Using a combination of fundamental and advanced statistics, VUKOTA compares current NHL players to comparable players throughout history to best project their next season’s performance in goals, assists and points as well as GVT. VUKOTA will be an additional tool in the PuckProspectus arsenal to help us and our readers better understand the inner workings of the hockey world. Stay tuned for more VUKOTA goodies on PuckProspectus as the 2009-10 season approaches!
