Scouting report

Ivan Ryabkin is a 19-year-old centre with Chicago Wolves in the AHL. He has 1 goal and 1 assist in 6 games, 0.33 a game, which works out to about 11 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. 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 0.40 points a game. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up.

At 19.4 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. Listed at 5-foot-11 and 205 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 27% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 8% of a first-line career and 2% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 40 points a season at his best. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
