Scouting report
Rowan Topp is a 20-year-old defenceman with Guelph Storm in the OHL, undrafted. He has 0 goals and 3 assists in 7 games, 0.43 a game, which works out to about 5 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. At 20.4 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 201 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 2% 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.
