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

Scouting Feed

Gill skated with the Rimouski Oceanic in his third QMJHL season, and saw a step forward in his defensive ability. He scored six goals and added 29 assists for 35 points in 51 games, but saw his plus-eight climb to a plus-thirty this year.

The Philadelphia Flyers signed Gill to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Gill was drafted 59th overall by the Flyers.

Spencer Gill is one of the more improved players in the QMJHL this season, playing big minutes as a right-handed defenseman for Rimouski. There were a lot of red flags surrounding his defensive abilities as a whole, but he has improved his gap control and positioning this season. Furthermore, Gill has taken a big step offensively by refining his breakout/transition game while using his large frame to shield defenders during his activations. Also, he has improved his breakout passes both on his forehand and backhand. Still seen as a project, Gill has become an intriguing RHD with efficient transition tools.

The Oceanic gave up 236 goals against in 2023-2024 and in 2024-2025 they allowed just 178. That of course does not mean that that is all attributable to Gill himself, but he certainly contributed.

Gill could be a decent, middle-four defenseman at the NHL level if his development arc continues. He likely will be more of a two-way defenseman, but will only be able to stick if his defensive abilities continue to evolve. He will skate what is likely to be his final QMJHL season with Blainville-Boisbriand in 2025-2026, and look to graduate to the AHL thereafter.
