Scouting report

That is down from 0.78 a game last season, and the projection drops with it. Listed at 5-foot-10 and 179 pounds. The model's median outcome for him is a third-pair defenceman, with plenty of games behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 60% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 27% of a top-pair career and 16% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 39 points a season at his best. This is a points model, so it can't see what he does without the puck. A third-pair job tends to come down to defending more than points.
