Scouting report

Jalen Lobo is an 18-year-old left wing with Oshawa Generals in the OHL. He has 2 goals and 5 assists in 27 games, 0.26 a game, which works out to about 3 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 2.8 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. Listed at 6-foot-1 and 184 pounds.

The model's median outcome for him is an AHLer, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 27% chance of becoming an NHL regular. If he makes it, figure about 32 points a season at his best. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
