Scouting report
Brock England is a 17-year-old centre with Seattle Thunderbirds in the WHL. He has 3 goals and 5 assists in 8 games, 1.00 a game, which works out to about 12 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 2.8 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 17.1 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. His most likely outcome is a middle-sixer, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 65% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 40% of a first-line career and 28% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 62 points a season at his best. Moving up a tier would take scoring well above his league's top-line rate.
