Scouting report

Charlie Elick is a 20-year-old defenceman with Cleveland Monsters in the AHL. He has 1 goal and 2 assists in 6 games, 0.50 a game, which works out to about 16 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 4.0 a game, one of the better offences around. Some of those points come from the company he keeps, and the model discounts them.

At 20.7 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 206 pounds. The model's median outcome for him is a long shot, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 5% chance of becoming an NHL regular. This is a points model, so it can't see what he does without the puck. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
