Scouting report
Giorgos Pantelas is an 18-year-old defenceman with Penticton Vees in the WHL. He has 0 goals and 2 assists in 10 games, 0.20 a game, which works out to about 2 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate.
That is down from 0.54 a game last season, and the projection drops with it. His team scores 2.2 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. The model's median outcome for him is an AHLer, with plenty of games behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 29% chance of becoming an NHL regular. If he makes it, figure about 23 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.
