Scouting report

Alexis Bourque is a 21-year-old right wing with Victoriaville Tigres in the QMJHL, undrafted. He has 21 goals and 21 assists in 57 games, 0.74 a game, which works out to about 7 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is goals. His team scores 3.1 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. He's producing without much support, and the model bumps him up for it. At 21.3 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 198 pounds.

His most likely outcome is a long shot, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 3% chance of becoming an NHL regular. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
