Speed/Acceleration Ratings for Your Favorite Team

[Simple Mathematics]

Hey everyone. As mentioned in a different thread, it is rather difficult to determine who the fastest and slowest skaters are on each team. Not every scouting report mentions a player's speed. And I have watched an insane amount of hockey - especially since I really got into roster editing a few years ago.

So I am asking you all this - for your favorite team, please rate the players for speed and acceleration. This can either be actual number ratings or just mention the fastest and slowest players on your team. Every little bit helps. Thanks!

For Vancouver I'd say Hansen is the fastest, and Horvat is up there too.

Slowest might be the Sedins, but there game isn't really about speed, but excellent puck movement.

How does one access your rosters when you're done? Is it incredibly hard?

As for the Blues, Magnus Paajarvi is actually our fastest skater even though he sucks and I'd say Kyle Brodziak is probably the slowest.

As of now there is no way to actually share my roster. So I am putting together a Google Sheet that everyone can access and plug in my ratings on his/her own. It sucks, but this is all we've got.

I'm starting with the LITE version of the rosters which is re-ratings based on EA's ratings scale. Then, barring that there is still interest, I will do a FULL revamped version which gives more player separation.

Oh for Vancouver Etem is really fast too.

For Detroit, Larkin and Athanasiou are the fastest, and to my knowledge two of the fastest in the entire league (Larkin won the speed competition at All-Star weekend if I remember correctly, and I think Athanasiou is even faster). Slowest is definitely Ericsson, that dude looks like he's skating in molasses.

I don't think he's faster than Fabbri.

For Montreal, Byron is definitely the fastest and one of the fastest in the league, as demonstrated by all his breakaways. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the hands to finsh three quarters of the times. Pacioretty is also a fast skater with big strides. Galchenyuk, Plekanek, Beaulieu, Petry are all pretty good skaters too.


As for the slowest skater, Markov isn't really fast, he definitely lost a step in the last couple of seasons, multiple knee injuries he suffered didn't help him in that area either. Probably that Weber will go in that category too.
