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 47% chance of becoming an NHL regular, 17% of a first-line career and 6% of turning into one of the league's best. If he makes it, figure about 44 points a season at his best. His odds move most with next season's line, so a big jump would matter more than a repeat.
