Scouting report
Bill Zonnon is a 19-year-old right wing with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the AHL, a Pittsburgh Penguins first-round pick, 22 overall in 2025. He has 3 goals and 2 assists in 6 games, 0.83 a game, which works out to about 27 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 4.2 a game, one of the better offences around. And the five best scorers around him average 1.30 points a game, well above the norm. Linemates like that pad a stat line, so the model takes some of his points back.
At 19.9 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 195 pounds. His most likely outcome is a fourth-liner, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 57% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 19% of a first-line career and 9% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 48 points a season at his best. A fourth-line job tends to come from penalty killing and faceoffs more than from scoring.
