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
3.0
30% 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
3.0
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Carrier was a sixth overall selection in the QMHL draft, and his toolbelt contains a number of desirable qualities in an NHL pro, it just remains to be seen if any are high end enough to earn his way to the highest level. He builds his game on tenacity and energy, and has the signs of budding offense. The Halifax Mooseheads did not have a bevvy of drafted talent in their ranks in Carrier’s draft year- Carlos Handel (6th round, 177th overall in 2025) was the only member of the team to be drafted. He was second in team scoring to fellow undrafted forward Liam Kilfoil- and Carrier finished his sophomore QMJHL season with a 18 goal, 26 assist effort in 59 games. This was a 33 point increase in the same number of games over his rookie campaign. Carrier’s drive and motor could see him get drafted in a second go-around, but he will need to round out an aspect of his offensive game to help get him to the highest levels and stick. He has a lot of runway left ahead of him in his development, but at present his is projecting to be a depth fantasy option in deeper leagues.
