Scouting report

Linden Burrett is a 20-year-old defenceman with Prince Albert Raiders in the WHL, undrafted. He has 8 goals and 27 assists in 64 games, 0.55 a game, which works out to about 6 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. His team scores 4.8 a game, one of the better offences around. Some of those points come from the company he keeps, and the model discounts them. At 20.6 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 2% chance of becoming an NHL regular. 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.
