Projected potential

Bio

Average sized netminder coming up the Russian ranks.

PNHLe

PNHLe data is not available for this prospect yet.

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
3.5
35% 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

With their last pick, the Sens took another overage eligible player – this time a goalie from Russia’s MHL. Trofimov’s tools do not pop off the page; he stands at 6-2, average for an NHL goalie – and his early statlines are equally pedestrian. In 2024 Trofimov went undrafted, playing only two games in Russia’s top junior league – the MHL – spending most of his season in Russia’s U18 league.

Selected 213th overall in the seventh round, Trofimov is now a member of the Ottawa Senators.

Staios took Trofimov in the seventh round in 2025 after his excellent play in the MHL as a D+1 player. Over 22 starts, Trofimov went 13-7-2, posting a .929 save percentage and 2.10 GAA in 26 total GP. That progression is positive, but the MHL is not a highly competitive league – especially for players over 18 years old. For now, Trofimov carries zero fantasy relevance, but if he takes a step in Russia’s pro leagues, that could change.
