Scouting report

Max Heise is a 20-year-old centre with Prince Albert Raiders in the WHL, undrafted. He has 29 goals and 34 assists in 63 games, 1.00 a game, which works out to about 12 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 4.8 a game, one of the better offences around. Linemates like that pad a stat line, so the model takes some of his points back. At 20.6 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it.

His most likely outcome is a long shot, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 3% chance of becoming an NHL regular. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
