Scouting report

Charlie Kresl is a 20-year-old centre with Calgary Hitmen in the WHL, undrafted. He has 2 goals and 11 assists in 8 games, 1.62 a game, which works out to about 19 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. His team scores 4.1 a game, one of the better offences around. Linemates like that pad a stat line, so the model takes some of his points back. At 20.6 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it.

His most likely outcome 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.
