Scouting report

Andrei Milyayev is a 16-year-old left wing with Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in the QMJHL. He has 2 goals and 1 assist in 8 games, 0.38 a game, which works out to about 4 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 3.0 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up.

At 16.8 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 181 pounds. His most likely outcome is a long shot, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 22% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 4% of a first-line career and 3% of turning into one of the league's best. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
