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
7.0
70% 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
7.5
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Lars Steiner is a skilled Swiss scoring winger the St. Louis Blues selected 171st overall, a player multiple boards graded closer to the second or third round before he slid on size. The Davos product has produced across two seasons in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League, and even through an injury-shortened 2025-26 he posted 30 goals and 55 points in 44 games as an assistant captain for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, a shade over a point per game. The season before, he ran up 60 points and made the 2025 CHL All-Rookie Team. The calling card is scoring touch. He shoots to finish, drives offense, and has carried a scoring role at every level, including two World Junior appearances for Switzerland, where he earned top-three-player honors on his team this past tournament. At 5-foot-10 the questions are strength and pro projection, and his development path bears watching, with reports he could return to Switzerland rather than the QMJHL for his overage year. For fantasy he is one of the higher-upside bets in this group, a potential top-six scoring winger if the finishing translates, and a dynasty stash worth holding, with where and how he plays in 2026-27 the thing to track before any add.
