Scouting report

Matyas Cutta is a 16-year-old left wing with Rimouski Océanic in the QMJHL. He has 2 goals and 3 assists in 9 games, 0.56 a game, which works out to about 5 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 5.2 a game, one of the better offences around. Some of those points come from the company he keeps, and the model discounts them.

At 16.4 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 173 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 30% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 12% of a first-line career and 7% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 46 points a season at his best. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
