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

Scouting Feed

Mikey Berchild is the classic undersized skill bet, a 5-foot-10 winger the Carolina Hurricanes took 105th overall out of the U.S. National Team Development Program. He produced 23 goals and 30 assists in 58 games with the Under-18 team in 2025-26 and wore an ‘A’ for Team USA at the 2026 Under-18 World Championship, where he was named one of the Americans’ top three players. Berchild plays bigger than his frame, driving the interior and releasing instantly off the catch, and he beats defenders with feints and handling in tight before firing. His motor never stops. Size is the reason he slid to the fourth round and the reason his certainty sits well below his ceiling. He heads to the University of Denver, a program with a strong record of developing pro forwards, which is the right runway for the physical maturation his game needs. For fantasy the upside is a scoring top-six winger if the skill wins at higher levels, and the floor is a skilled tweener who never sticks. That spread makes him a dynasty stash worth holding, not a win-now add, with his Denver freshman production the tell.
