Yeah, so that's a big reason why you have to play around 20 games in. In order for players to get considered in the regression model, they have to have played 60 minutes. The regression model requires a minimum of roughly 300 forwards and 200 defensemen. If there aren't enough players with 60 minutes played to hit that threshold, you'll see the VALUE error for any stats that require the regression models.
