Scouting report
Parker Vaughan is an 18-year-old right wing with North Bay Battalion in the OHL. He has 1 goal and 7 assists in 9 games, 0.89 a game, which works out to about 10 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. That is up from 0.49 a game last season. His team scores 2.9 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. And the five best scorers around him average only 0.76 points a game. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up. Listed at 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds.
His most likely outcome is an AHLer, with plenty of games behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 20% chance of becoming an NHL regular and 3% of a first-line career. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
