Scouting report

Gavin Cornforth is a 19-year-old right wing with Moncton Wildcats in the QMJHL, undrafted. He has 12 goals and 18 assists in 29 games, 1.03 a game, which works out to about 10 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 4.8 a game, one of the better offences around. And the five best scorers around him average 1.34 points a game, well above the norm. Some of those points come from the company he keeps, and the model discounts them. At 19.8 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it. Listed at 5-foot-9 and 170 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 5% chance of becoming an NHL regular. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
