Scouting report

James Barr is a 19-year-old defenceman with Sarnia Sting in the OHL, undrafted. He has 1 goal and 10 assists in 28 games, 0.39 a game, which works out to about 5 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. The five best scorers around him average only 0.67 points a game. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up. Listed at 6-foot-1 and 182 pounds.
