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
6.0
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Beckham Edwards is a tools-over-production bet, a center the Detroit Red Wings took 143rd overall out of the Sarnia Sting. He models his game after Nick Suzuki and leans on his skating and hockey sense, and he plays a complete, versatile game that Detroit’s staff valued through the middle rounds. The scoring is the sticking point. He posted 45 points in 64 games this past season, nearly identical to the 45 he put up as an Ontario Hockey League Second All-Rookie Team member the year before, so the expected offensive step forward did not arrive. A Little Caesars product with a Red Wings connection, he heads to the University of Notre Dame this fall, where a jump in competition and a fresh developmental setting could unlock the consistency his game has lacked. For fantasy the ceiling is real if the skill translates, but the flat back-to-back seasons are why his certainty sits well below that upside. He is a dynasty stash on tools and pedigree rather than results, and his Notre Dame freshman production, specifically whether the goals and points finally climb, is the tell before any add.
