Scouting report

Jack O'Brien is a 21-year-old defenceman with Soo Greyhounds in the OHL, undrafted. He has 0 goals and 1 assist in 16 games, 0.06 a game, which works out to about 1 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. At 21.6 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-2 and 205 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 1% chance of becoming an NHL regular. This is a points model, so it can't see what he does without the puck. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
