Scouting report

Jaroslav Chmelar is a 23-year-old right wing with Hartford Wolf Pack in the AHL, a New York Rangers fifth-round pick, 144 overall in 2021. He has 1 goal and 0 assists in 2 games, 0.50 a game, which works out to about 16 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 2.1 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. And the five best scorers around him average only 0.69 points a game. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 238 pounds.

The model's median outcome for him is an AHLer, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 29% chance of becoming an NHL regular. If he makes it, figure about 31 points a season at his best. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
