Projected potential

Bio

A strong middle-six center with a good hockey IQ that helps him create offense for himself and his teammates. He is also good in transition and can offer a good mix of goals and assists for category-based fantasy leagues.

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
5.0
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Gill joined Merrimack College in October, and in 10 NCAA games during the 2025-26 season, he has 10 points (four goals, six assists) and 24 PIM. A free agent in the NHL, Gill will look to impress during his time in the NCAA and attempt to earn a look from an NHL team in the future.

The New York Islanders did not sign Gill to an entry-level contract as of June 1, 2025. He is an unrestricted free agent.

2023, fifth-round pick, 145th overall, Justin Gill recently signed an AHL contract with the Bridgeport Islanders but will play this season in the ECHL. Last season, Gill finished with 40 goals, 58 assists, and 98 points for Baie-Comeau Drakkar, finishing two consecutive seasons with more than 90 points in the QMJHL. This year, look for Gill to carve out a role on the ECHL roster with potential for the occasional call-up to Bridgeport. However, already 21 years old, he has an uphill battle to prove himself to the management and is likely to be a bottom-six forward in the big leagues.
