Scouting report
Noah Read is a 19-year-old centre with Niagara IceDogs in the OHL, a Anaheim Ducks third-round pick, 72 overall in 2025. He has 3 goals and 3 assists in 6 games, 1.00 a game, which works out to about 12 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. His team scores 3.1 a game, below the league, and much less when he is not the one scoring. Scoring without much help counts for more, so the model nudges him up. At 19.7 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 170 pounds.
His most likely outcome is a long shot, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him an 11% chance of becoming an NHL regular. Few players with numbers like these made it, though some did.
