Scouting report

Egor Barabanov is a 20-year-old centre with Saginaw Spirit in the OHL, undrafted. He has 28 goals and 63 assists in 68 games, 1.34 a game, which works out to about 16 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. His team scores 3.0 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up. At 20.3 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-0 and 175 pounds.

The model's median outcome for him is an AHLer, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 23% chance of becoming an NHL regular and 7% of a first-line career. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
