Scouting report

Theo Wallberg is a 22-year-old defenceman with Western Michigan Univ. in the NCAA, a Ottawa Senators sixth-round pick, 168 overall in 2022. He has 0 goals and 3 assists in 4 games, 0.75 a game, which works out to about 12 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. At 22.8 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-4 and 214 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 12% 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.
