What is PNHLe?

PNHLe is an offensive stat that is used to project a player’s point potential at the NHL level and is meant to standardize a variety of leagues so that prospects can be compared from one league with another.

PNHLe attempts to equalize all leagues, age and positions so that the offensive potential of a prospect can easily be compared with others, while also projecting future NHL point potential in the prime years of a player.

The problem with NHLe

The premise of the NHLe stat is certainly a great idea. If a player jumps directly from one league to the NHL there should be some precedent set by historical values that would indicate how many points that player should project to having in a full NHL season. However, it always bothered me that NHLe never took into account that younger players in the same league would always have a massive disadvantage compared to those that have more experience and are physically more mature in the same league. NHLe only looks at the present to predict how many points in one league are equated at the NHL level.

NHL Certainty
6.5
65% odds
Odds of becoming a full-time NHL player (10.0 = 100%). Draft guideline is a starting point and should rise as the prospect proves himself.
Upside
6.0
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Tyus Sparks has been a hard worker for the Vancouver Giants this season, a consistently engaging player who isn’t afraid of being aggressive and a fighter if he needs to be. Sparks has a highly likable style of play, on offense being a highly aware player who does a good job finding the right place to get scoring opportunities, and has a strong shooting release. A very strong skater, Sparks does well moving through the ice and has good speed. Sparks can stand to be more of a playmaker but has done well moving the puck early this season. The big drawback to Sparks is his size at 5’11. Sparks hasn’t played consistently on one line throughout the season, bouncing around the Giants top-nine. It’s a surprise he isn’t featured on their penalty kill given his ability to be a workhorse. As a smaller player, Sparks is going to have to convert more of his chances to actual production in order to prove to NHL teams his ability to be a pro. Sparks’ intensity and hustle could still be enough to give him a shot in the later rounds at least.
