Projected potential

Bio

A center that is showing signs of rapid development. Keep an eye on him.

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
3.0
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
5.5
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

A second-year draft-eligible prospect, Yan Matveiko, was selected 211th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 2025 NHL Draft. His 2023-24 season in Russia’s top junior league, which he spent with Krasnaya Armiya Moskva in the MHL, yielded only one point in 26 games. This performance led to his undrafted status in the 2024 NHL Draft. In the 2024-25 season, Matveiko experienced a significant offensive breakout, scoring 24 points (10 goals and 14 assists) in 42 regular-season games. He also added four points (one goal and three assists) in six playoff games with Krasnaya Armiya Moskva. Ultimately, Matveiko will need to prove that 2024-25 was not a fluke and will look further into his development once again in the MHL with Krasnaya Armiya Moskva during the 2025-26 season. Although the Calgary Flames and Russian scout Denis Grebeshkov believe Matveiko could play in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Additionally, Flames Director of Amateur Scouting Tod Button reported to Flames TV that Matveiko experienced a significant growth spurt during the 2024-25 season and is now closer to 6-4, 185 pounds.
