Scouting report

Eamon Edgar is a 16-year-old centre with Barrie Colts in the OHL. He has 2 goals and 4 assists in 11 games, 0.55 a game, which works out to about 6 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. That is up from 0.33 a game last season. His team scores 1.7 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. And the five best scorers around him average only 0.41 points a game. He's producing without much support, and the model bumps him up for it.

At 16.9 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. Listed at 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds. His most likely outcome is an AHLer, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 32% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 16% of a first-line career and 6% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 53 points a season at his best. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
