Scouting report

The model's median outcome for him is an AHLer, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 44% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 9% of a top-pair career and 3% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 27 points a season at his best. This is a points model, so it can't see what he does without the puck. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
