NHL Aging Curve Lab for Fantasy GMs

A subscription dashboard that scores every NHL player's projected decline based on position, role, age-peer history, and recent workload, so fantasy and armchair GMs can plan around the 'A-bomb' before it drops.

Target user

Fantasy hockey players and serious NHL fans who want to know when stars like Hyman, Nugent-Hopkins, or Crosby are about to fall off a cliff

Features
  • Player decline-probability model trained on age-36+ top-six forwards and top-four defensemen from the last 15 seasons
  • 'Still in their prime' vs 'borrow their time' badges on player pages
  • Custom watchlists that alert you when a player you're tracking crosses an aging threshold
  • Trade-deadline 'sell-high' simulator that suggests which aging assets to move
Why now

The Edmonton Journal's viral 'A-bomb' framing puts aging curves on every Oilers fan's mind; the league is unusually top-heavy with mid-30s stars (Crosby, Malkin, Kane, Letang, Burns), so the analytical demand is at a multi-year high.
