Scouting report
Matyas Cancik is a 17-year-old centre with Saint John Sea Dogs in the QMJHL. He has 2 goals and 6 assists in 11 games, 0.73 a game, which works out to about 7 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. His team scores 3.2 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up.
At 17.3 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. Listed at 5-foot-10 and 178 pounds. His most likely outcome is a long shot, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 12% chance of becoming an NHL regular and 6% of a first-line career. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
