Scouting report
Stepan Farushev is a 16-year-old left wing with Swift Current Broncos in the WHL. He has 2 goals and 3 assists in 11 games, 0.45 a game, which works out to about 5 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. The five best scorers around him average only 0.68 points a game. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up.
At 16.8 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. His most likely outcome is an AHLer, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 19% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 4% of a first-line career and 4% of turning into one of the league's best. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
