Scouting report

Ben Wilmott is a 20-year-old centre with Barrie Colts in the OHL, undrafted. He has 27 goals and 39 assists in 66 games, 1.00 a game, which works out to about 12 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. The five best scorers around him average 1.20 points a game, well above the norm. Linemates like that pad a stat line, so the model takes some of his points back. At 20.0 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-1 and 190 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.
