Scouting report
Adam Nemec is an 18-year-old left wing with Brantford Bulldogs in the OHL, a Ottawa Senators third-round pick, 72 overall in 2026. He has 2 goals and 14 assists in 18 games, 0.89 a game, which works out to about 4 NHL points over 82 at his league's exchange rate. Most of it is setting up other people. His team scores 4.1 a game, one of the better offences around. Linemates like that pad a stat line, so the model takes some of his points back. Listed at 6-foot-0 and 173 pounds.
The model's median outcome for him is an AHLer, with a fair sample behind it. Players drafted from 2010 to 2017 with numbers like his give him a 28% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 12% of a first-line career and 4% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 52 points a season at his best. A big step next season would change these odds more than anything else.
