Right now, users vote in the “was this a good signing” poll on each contract. But one has to click on to each, add up the votes, and compute a percentage. And there is no way to view this data as either a snapshot in time or to compare with other similar deals.
A few recommendations:
1. Show a percentage on top of raw number of votes. Just saves people a math step.
2. Make contracts sortable / findable by those percentages. Either through existing players/active players tool. Or as it’s own page.
3. It would also be interesting to see what the percentages were at first impression. Say, after a few days or weeks, a contract may be a lot more or less popular than it will be in couple of years.
4. Another simpler idea, may be to post the most-popular and least-popular contracts from the 2022 class. It would be interesting to look back in a couple of years. For instance, the 2016 UFA crop (Lucic, Ladd, Eriksson, Backes, Nielsen, etc) have a number of contracts that receive negative reviews now. But what was it two weeks after they all signed?
The data being collected on fan opinions is a really interesting resource that could be used to really engage users.
The same could also be done for trades (for instance #4 at each deadline).
