Scouting report

Marcus Kearsey is a 20-year-old defenceman with Charlottetown Islanders in the QMJHL, undrafted. He has 15 goals and 40 assists in 62 games, 0.89 a game, which works out to about 8 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. The five best scorers around him average 1.24 points a game, well above the norm.

It barely moves his projection. At 20.5 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it. Listed at 5-foot-11 and 182 pounds. The model's median outcome for him is a long shot, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 5% 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.
