Scouting report

Michael Fisher is a 22-year-old defenceman with Cornell Univ. in the NCAA, a San Jose Sharks third-round pick, 76 overall in 2022. He has 1 goal and 7 assists in 33 games, 0.24 a game, which works out to about 4 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. At 22.4 he is old for the league, so the model expects him to outscore younger players and gives less credit for it. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds.

The model's median outcome for him is a long shot, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 20% chance of becoming an NHL regular. This is a points model, so it can't see what he does without the puck. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
