Projected potential

Bio

A speedy, responsible center who plays well off the puck with a high hockey sense that allows him to create opportunities for himself and his linemates. Needs to develop physically—projects as a bottom-six forward.

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
4.5
45% 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
3.5
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Hendrickson’s first NCAA season for the University of Minnesota was OK. He didn’t put up a lot of points, but he also had talented players above him in the depth chart that limited his opportunities. in 2025-26 he should have an opportunity to play in the top six among players like L.J. Mooney and Brodie Ziemer, which should see him increase his point totals to over half a point per game. There’s likely two projection scenarios this season – if Hendrickson achieves more than half a point per game, then top six at the AHL level in three to four years is on the table. If he cannot achieve half a point per game given his current opportunity, he’s likely not going to be fantasy relevant.

The Boston Bruins drafted Hendrickson, son of former NHL player Darby Hendrickson, in the fourth round (124th overall) in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.
