Scouting report

Jiri Kamas is an 18-year-old defenceman with Red Deer Rebels in the WHL. He has 1 goal and 6 assists in 11 games, 0.64 a game, which works out to about 7 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. That is up from 0.30 a game last season. His team scores 4.0 a game, one of the better offences around. And the five best scorers around him average 1.28 points a game, well above the norm. Linemates like that pad a stat line, so the model takes some of his points back.

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 17% chance of becoming an NHL regular. This is a points model, so it can't see what he does without the puck. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
