Projected potential

Bio

A big, physical, two-way defenseman who moves the puck up ice quickly.

PNHLe

Projected potential: 362025-26 · NCAA · Cornell Univ.

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
4.0
40% 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
Ioan Gheordanescu   - DobberProspects

Ashton played 38 games at the NCAA level in 2024-25, putting up 13 points. He is going to be a defensive minded player at higher levels so the minimal offensive production is no surprise. Look for Ashton to play another couple of seasons in the NCAA before signing an entry level contract with Columbus and progressing to the AHL ranks as a bottom four defender. Should he make it to the NHL in the next four to five years, he likely tops out as a bottom pair defender that gets your fantasy team hits and blocks, not much else.

Mark Henry - DobberProspects

The Columbus Blue Jackets drafted Ashton in the sixth round (165th overall) in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.
