Scouting report
Simon Lovsin is a 20-year-old right wing with Seattle Thunderbirds in the WHL, undrafted. He has 2 goals and 0 assists in 8 games, 0.25 a game, which works out to about 3 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate.
That is down from 0.55 a game last season, and the projection drops with it. His team scores 2.8 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up. At 20.6 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it. 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.
