Scouting report

Shawn Costello is a 19-year-old centre with Windsor Spitfires in the OHL, undrafted. He has 2 goals and 1 assist in 10 games, 0.30 a game, which works out to about 4 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. That is up from 0.08 a game last season. 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 6-foot-1 and 195 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 1% chance of becoming an NHL regular. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
