Projected potential

Bio

A big, bruising, hardworking winger with underrated skill who is strong on his skates and tough to separate from the puck when he has possession. Has the potential to develop into a middle-six net front presence

Projected potential: 87 · 1st Line Potential2025-26 · WHL · Everett Silvertips

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
6.0
60% 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
5.5
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

James Connelly - DobberProspects

If you thought Mads Kongsbak Klyvo had an NHL frame, get ready to meet Busch. Standing at 6-2 and 212 lbs, Busch has an NHL frame. He started last year in the BCHL but after the CHL-NCAA agreement, Busch jumped to the WHL to finish out the year. He will be heading to Penn State this fall, Busch will play alongside plenty of other high end talents. What separates Busch is his physicality which was too much for WHL competition a lot of the time and allowed for him to excel on the power play as a net front presence. However, the skating is quite suspect for Busch which stifles his projection a bit and makes it harder to identify whether Busch will become an impact bottom-six player or if he will instead be an AHLer. Only time and development will tell. Expect for Busch to spend at least three years at Penn State before making the jump to professional hockey.
