Scouting report

Joe Salandra is an 18-year-old right wing with Barrie Colts in the OHL. He has 12 goals and 26 assists in 59 games, 0.64 a game, which works out to about 8 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 1.25 points a game, well above the norm. Some of those points come from the company he keeps, and the model discounts them. Listed at 5-foot-10 and 198 pounds.

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 22% chance of becoming an NHL regular and 4% of a first-line career. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
