Scouting report
Ryan Walsh is a 23-year-old centre with Cornell Univ. in the NCAA, a Boston Bruins sixth-round pick, 188 overall in 2023. He has 10 goals and 23 assists in 33 games, 1.00 a game, which works out to about 16 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. At 23.1 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-0 and 180 pounds.
His most likely outcome is an AHLer, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 14% chance of becoming an NHL regular. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
