December 1st, 2011 Free Agency Results
Absolutely nothing to report :) Nobody has room! :)
Note that if the signing sheet says 0% resign probabilty, you have 0% chance of signing said player :) Player discounts are being given throughout the year (only on the 1 year portion). What kind of discount by now? Teemu Selanne one year term was 8.3mil at the beginning and is now 7mil, and yes he's just that awesome that he'd rather sit than play for pennies.
New GM to take advantage of ... err Welcome!
Hey Everyone, I wanted to welcome Jeff Paling as the new manager of the Earthquakes. He's new to the hockey sim world and learning the ropes. Whether he's here to be fleeced or a saavy builder remains to be seen. I certainly wish for a long term player that can take this expansion franchaise to the next step!
Communications Re-established From Aviators' Hanger
The Aviators Hockey Club finally breaks the silence after no communications were made for over 9 months. The last known communication from the Seattle Aviators front office was made back in February 2011, at the midpoint of the 2nd season in the BFHL.
Why the silence?
Valuation of Hockey Players - The Luongo Dilemma
This is a follow up on the Pythagorean formula discussion, and focuses on the NHL and the Vancouver Canucks. A lot of people have ragged on Luongo (myself included). I wanted to objectively value his worth.
The Pythagorean formula to determine winning percentages has long been used in sabermetrics. The formula is best summarized as:
Wining % = GF^2 / (GF^2 + GA^2)
Where GF = goals for, and GA = goals against.
This article is used to illustrate the value of Roberto Luongo.

Predicted Win % - Pythagorean Theorem
Bombers GM has looked at the predicted rankings based on the pythagorean theorem
Winning % = (Goals For)2
(Goals For)2 + (Goals Against)2
Results:
Simulator is fairly reflective of the formula with actual win% vs predicted win% having an R-squared of 0.6891. (Predicted win on x-axis, actual win y-axis).
