Projected potential

Bio

A hard-working forward, who plays well defensively, the offensive aspect of his game is a work in progress. Has the potential to become a solid two-way player in a bottom-six role.

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
3.5
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Chandler is an absolute worker bee of a player who loves to pursue the puck and get into the dirty areas of the ice. Coming off an injury in his rookie season, Chandler did not have the runway in training camp that would have benefited him in his draft year. Still, he posted 32 points in 64 games with the Shawinigan Cataractes. The hope is a full off-season and proper training heading into the season will help Chandler regain the form he had in U18. With his offensive potency at each level he’s played, that is a fine bet to make for an organization trying to mine talent later in the draft.

Selected 133rd overall, Cole Chandler is now a member of the Boston Bruins.
