Scouting report

Ludovic Perreault is a 17-year-old left wing with Victoria Royals in the WHL. He has 3 goals and 5 assists in 7 games, 1.14 a game, which works out to about 13 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 4.2 a game, one of the better offences around. And the five best scorers around him average 1.20 points a game, well above the norm. Linemates like that pad a stat line, so the model takes some of his points back.

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 38% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 11% of a first-line career and 3% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 46 points a season at his best. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
