Scouting report

Olivier Charron is a 16-year-old centre with Shawinigan Cataractes in the QMJHL. He has 4 goals and 3 assists in 10 games, 0.70 a game, which works out to about 6 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate.

At 16.9 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 195 pounds. His most likely outcome is a tweener, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 43% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 22% of a first-line career and 14% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 54 points a season at his best. His odds move most with next season's line, so a big jump would matter more than a repeat.
