Scouting report
Nic Whitehead is a 19-year-old centre with Ottawa 67's in the OHL, undrafted. He has 4 goals and 4 assists in 10 games, 0.80 a game, which works out to about 9 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is goals. At 19.6 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 167 pounds.
His most likely outcome is an AHLer, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him an 8% chance of becoming an NHL regular. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
