Scouting report
Cole Beaudoin is a 20-year-old centre with Hartford Wolf Pack in the AHL, a New York Rangers first-round pick, 24 overall in 2024. He has 1 goal and 5 assists in 4 games, 1.50 a game, which works out to about 48 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 2.1 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. And the five best scorers around him average only 0.69 points a game. He's producing without much support, and the model bumps him up for it.
At 20.4 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 212 pounds. The model's median outcome for him is a middle-sixer, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 70% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 22% of a first-line career and 10% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 49 points a season at his best. Moving up a tier would take scoring well above his league's top-line rate.
