Fantasy Hockey Streamers (2023-01-23)

This is a list of potential short-term streamers who were selected by a bot, not by me personally. Is it a good idea to use a bot to find streamers? See the note at the end of this post for my thoughts on the topic.

OK, let’s look at the upcoming schedule and then see who made the 18_SKATERS_BOT’s list of streamers.

The NHL Schedule

There are 5 off days in the 8-day period that starts today. An “off day” is a day on which there are 16 or fewer teams playing (i.e., it is capped at half the teams in the NHL).

The 18_SKATERS_BOT’s Streamers

Here are the robo-recommended streamers for the current 8-day period. Only skaters who are on a roster in fewer than 60% of Yahoo leagues were eligible for selection.

The skaters are ranked based on their Score which essentially means they’re ranked according to who is most likely to get goals/assists in a game (relative to the other skaters on the list).

Scroll down to the next table if you’re targeting a skater from a specific team.

Is It A Good Idea To Use A Bot To Find Streamers?

I can see a few benefits to using a bot to hunt for streamers: (1) it shrinks the pool of potential streamers, leaving us with the easier task of picking our streamers from a small number of candidates; (2) it eliminates personal bias - the bot looks at the data, not the vibes; and (3) it catches everything - the bot will not miss a skater getting extra time-on-ice, or a skater generating increased scoring chances.

There’s an important caveat to that last point though, and it’s the bot’s biggest weakness: the bot is not smart when it comes to changes that are expected to occur in the future. The bot simply pulls historical data from Natural Stat Trick and uses it to project future skater performance. The bot knows nothing else. It’s oblivious to tweets about new line combinations and news about roster changes. Does that mean the bot’s suggestions are worthless? Of course not. Just be aware of the issue when reviewing the bot’s suggestions.

Come Back Tomorrow For Updated Streamers!

I aim to post streamer suggestions every day so check back regularly. Consider bookmarking this site and following me on Twitter @18sktrs to make sure you get daily updates.
