Scouting report

Jonas Woo is a 19-year-old defenceman with Medicine Hat Tigers in the WHL, undrafted. He has 29 goals and 57 assists in 56 games, 1.54 a game, which works out to about 18 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 5.0 a game, one of the better offences around. And the five best scorers around him average 1.42 points a game, well above the norm. Some of those points come from the company he keeps, and the model discounts them. At 19.8 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it.

His most likely outcome is a long shot, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 12% chance of becoming an NHL regular and 3% of a top-pair career. This is a points model, so it can't see what he does without the puck. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
