Scouting report

William Vézina is a 19-year-old centre with Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the QMJHL, undrafted. He has 5 goals and 2 assists in 10 games, 0.70 a game, which works out to about 6 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. That is up from 0.41 a game last season. His team scores 3.1 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. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 211 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. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
