Projected potential

Bio

Smooth skating defenseman with good defensive instincts. Gets back in transition and shuts down attacking players. Improvements to his offensive game can elevate his value. Worth a look in leagues that use takeaways.

What is PNHLe?

PNHLe is an offensive stat that is used to project a player’s point potential at the NHL level and is meant to standardize a variety of leagues so that prospects can be compared from one league with another.

PNHLe attempts to equalize all leagues, age and positions so that the offensive potential of a prospect can easily be compared with others, while also projecting future NHL point potential in the prime years of a player.

The problem with NHLe

The premise of the NHLe stat is certainly a great idea. If a player jumps directly from one league to the NHL there should be some precedent set by historical values that would indicate how many points that player should project to having in a full NHL season. However, it always bothered me that NHLe never took into account that younger players in the same league would always have a massive disadvantage compared to those that have more experience and are physically more mature in the same league. NHLe only looks at the present to predict how many points in one league are equated at the NHL level.

NHL Certainty
5.5
55% odds
Odds of becoming a full-time NHL player (10.0 = 100%). Draft guideline is a starting point and should rise as the prospect proves himself.
Upside
4.0
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Alcos is a great skater. He is mobile from the back end and uses that mobility to create chances. He will make a stretch pass to a teammate or carry the puck himself. He can also handle himself in defensive situations, proving trustworthy to keep the puck out of the net. Alcos may need to add a bit to his offensive game, but he has the foundation to be a defensive defenseman.
