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

Selected 197th overall, Brendan Dunphy is now a member of the Florida Panthers. Dunphy joined the Wenatchee Wild in the Western Hockey League in November 2024 after being acquired in a trade from the Regina Pats and signing with the Wild after one and a half seasons with the Langley Rivermen of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). During his time in the BCHL, he produced 12 points (two goals and 10 assists) in 68 games. Upon joining the Wild, he exceeded expectations offensively, where he produced 22 points (four goals and 18 assists) in 47 regular-season games. Dunphy will play at the University of Connecticut during the 2025-26 season. If he continues to trend upward offensively at the NCAA level, he could climb onto the fantasy radar in deep dynasty leagues as a solid two-way defender with offensive ability that provides peripheral stats.
