The Next Wave NHL is a brand new site, which uses the SPPM (Shuck Player Progression Model) analytic system to project and determine a prospects likely NHL career. Rating every current NHL prospect by team, and a top 100 list, it is THE most comprehensive prospect site out there. By following an analytic model, you get results that are more realistically based than

So Bryce Shuck took the old Hockey's Future grading system and renamed it after himself? Come on. If you're going to launch your own version of HF and call yourself comprehensive, you need a staff of knowledgeable credentialed writers who write regularly about prospects. It can't be one guy infringing on a better site's model and trying to pass his limited knowledge as fact.

We all miss HF but there are plenty of other REAL prospect sites out there that deserve to be relied upon. Not this. This is a scam. Nice attempt but you are not qualified to be running something like this and expect it to hold any legitimacy.

Wow, I have a fan apparently.

While we tried to use a scaled outcome that people are familiar with (though with tweaks and actual uniformness to the rankings). There's literally nothing from HF that was utilized for this project, nor is it MY rankings of players. It's an analytical model based project, that incorporates legitimate scouting reports (some public, some not) to help feed the model.

We do not have any professional writer's in our group, hence why we'd love to add people looking to get noticed in that avenue. It's not something I, or the others in this project, have any desire (or ability) to be.

Regardless, it's a free site for people to use, results will bode for themselves. I have no idea who you are, or what axe you have to grind, nor do I particularly care.

I personally love the site you have made Bryce! Appreciate it all

I also sent a guy your way from my league, he was interested in writing articles
