Scouting report
Daniel Chen is a 20-year-old defenceman with Charlottetown Islanders in the QMJHL, undrafted. He has 0 goals and 1 assist in 10 games, 0.10 a game, which works out to about 1 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. The five best scorers around him average 1.30 points a game, well above the norm. Some of those points come from the company he keeps, and the model discounts them. At 20.1 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-5 and 200 pounds.
The model's median outcome for him is a long shot, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 1% 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.
