Scouting report

Alfons Freij is a 20-year-old defenceman with Manitoba Moose in the AHL, a Winnipeg Jets second-round pick, 37 overall in 2024. He has 2 goals and 1 assist in 6 games, 0.50 a game, which works out to about 16 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 4.8 a game, one of the better offences around. And the five best scorers around him average 1.23 points a game, well above the norm. Some of those points come from the company he keeps, and the model discounts them.

At 20.6 he is among the youngest regulars in the league, and age matters more than any single stat in these projections. Listed at 6-foot-1 and 187 pounds. The model's median outcome for him is a tweener, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 41% chance of becoming an NHL regular and 3% 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. His odds move most with next season's line, so a big jump would matter more than a repeat.
