Scouting report

Blake Burke is a 20-year-old left wing with Cape Breton Eagles in the QMJHL, undrafted. He has 0 goals and 7 assists in 20 games, 0.35 a game, which works out to about 3 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 2.6 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 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-0 and 196 pounds.

The model's median outcome for him is a long shot, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 2% chance of becoming an NHL regular. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
