"But maybe you don't have time to crunch projections or debate every player. You can absolutely deep dive into the process -- calculating drop-offs, percentage fades, or projection decay rates -- and it's fun if you like that sort of thing. The good news is that if you don't, only minimal effort is enough to turn a basic ranking list into flexible tiers that adapt as your draft unfolds."
"It's easiest to show how simple this can be by walking through a physical list: Start reading the names from the top. Picture yourself drafting each player and gauge your comfort level. Whenever you feel a pang of doubt about the next pick, draw a line above their name. That's a tier. Use roster spots as a guide (No. 1 line, No. 2 defense, etc.). If a certain player really makes you uncomfortable, just cross them off entirely."
Personalized draft tiers prioritize comfort and control during fantasy hockey drafts by grouping players based on perceived value and draft-day confidence. Minimal work—such as drawing dividing lines on a cheat sheet—converts a basic ranking list into flexible tiers that adapt as a draft unfolds. Deeper analysis (drop-offs, percentage fades, projection decay rates) is optional for users who enjoy projections. Use roster spots to guide tier placement and remove players who cause persistent discomfort. The provided tiers reflect custom projections rather than default in-game lists, enabling a tailored draft strategy aligned with individual risk tolerance.
