Scouting report

Leon Muggli is a 20-year-old defenceman with Hershey Bears in the AHL, a Washington Capitals second-round pick, 52 overall in 2024. He has 1 goal and 0 assists in 4 games, 0.25 a game, which works out to about 8 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate.

At 20.2 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. Listed at 6-foot-0 and 165 pounds. His most likely outcome is a third-pair defenceman, on a small sample. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 54% chance of becoming an NHL regular and 6% of a top-pair career. If he makes it, figure about 22 points a season at his best. This is a points model, so it can't see what he does without the puck. A third-pair job tends to come down to defending more than points.
