Scouting report

Braiden Clark is a 21-year-old centre with London Knights in the OHL, undrafted. He has 22 goals and 14 assists in 61 games, 0.59 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 21.4 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 195 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.
