Scouting report

Louis Oscar Holowaychuk is a 16-year-old centre with Vancouver Giants in the WHL. He has 0 goals and 1 assist in 8 games, 0.12 a game, which works out to about 1 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate.

At 16.6 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. His most likely outcome is an AHLer, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 30% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 5% of a first-line career and 5% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 44 points a season at his best. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
