Scouting report

Alex Kostov is a 20-year-old centre with Flint Firebirds in the OHL, undrafted. He has 24 goals and 31 assists in 47 games, 1.17 a game, which works out to about 14 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. At 20.3 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-4 and 208 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 an 8% chance of becoming an NHL regular. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
