Scouting report

Noah Jenken is a 19-year-old defenceman with Guelph Storm in the OHL, undrafted. He has 2 goals and 3 assists in 6 games, 0.83 a game, which works out to about 10 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 4.4 a game, one of the better offences around. And the five best scorers around him average 1.53 points a game, well above the norm. Some of those points come from the company he keeps, and the model discounts them. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 200 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 6% 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.
