Scouting report
William Shields is a 20-year-old right wing with Charlottetown Islanders in the QMJHL, undrafted. He has 4 goals and 9 assists in 13 games, 1.00 a game, which works out to about 9 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. That is up from 0.60 a game last season. At 20.5 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it. Listed at 5-foot-9 and 177 pounds.
The model's median outcome for him is a long shot, with plenty of games behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 2% chance of becoming an NHL regular. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
