Scouting report

Jimmy Lombardi is a 19-year-old centre with Flint Firebirds in the OHL, undrafted. He has 4 goals and 10 assists in 8 games, 1.75 a game, which works out to about 21 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. That is up from 1.11 a game last season. At 19.6 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-1 and 193 pounds.

His most likely outcome is an AHLer, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 10% chance of becoming an NHL regular. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
