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
5.5
55% 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

Liske was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2nd round (53rd overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft.

Final Rankings: Brek has been one of the more improved players throughout the season. At the beginning of the season I felt like there was a lot that was “loose” in his game. Puck touches, reads with the puck, retrievals, pinches. However, throughout the year Liske continuously improved culminating a great WHL playoff run that ended in a championship and a memorial cup final. By the end of the year, his stride slightly improved and I would now call an average skater for his size. Brek makes decisions quickly and effectively, whether that’s breakout passes, pinching. His offensive ability from the blue line improved as well, where he often receives a pass and makes a move past his man for shooting opportunities as well as jumping in from the blue line off the puck. Defensively he excels defending off the rush but sometimes struggles with in zone and net front defense. Liske does a lot of things well but he seems to be a high floor low ceiling defenseman. –
