This will be the last NHL Weighted Consensus article of the season in what has been a good inaugural campaign for tracking the DFS experts on the ice. With this being the last article of the year, let’s make it a freebie for the big 12-game NHL slate on Thursday night. Enjoy and let us know if you want us to bring it back again next season either via email or Twitter.
The Weighted Consensus for the NHL uses each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score for players is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. This method gives the higher rated experts picks more weight when compiling the overall player rankings for the day. We will include all players that have a Rank Score over 5.0.
