Scouting report

Quentin Musty is a 21-year-old left wing with San Jose Barracuda in the AHL, a San Jose Sharks first-round pick, 26 overall in 2023. He has 21 goals and 24 assists in 61 games, 0.74 a game, which works out to about 24 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate.

At 21.2 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds. His most likely outcome is a middle-sixer, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 72% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 25% of a first-line career and 8% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 48 points a season at his best. Moving up a tier would take scoring well above his league's top-line rate.
