Projected potential

Bio

Technically-sound netminder with great footwork. Lacks composure and puts himself in situations that require sprawling saves, but has upside as an occasional starter.

PNHLe

PNHLe data is not available for this prospect yet.

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
4.0
40% 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
4.5
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Pat Quinn - DobberProspects

Kempf played in his first full NCAA season with the University of Notre Dame, where he played more of a 1B/backup role to Owen Say. He went a disappointing 2-10-1 with a 0.895 save percentage. Kempf is obviously developing for the long term and has never really had a consistent in-season save percentage over 0.900 yet. Hopefully, he can continue to work on his game and get a better team in front of him to produce better numbers.

Mark Henry - DobberProspects

Kempf was selected 114th overall by the Washington Capitals.

Colin Hunter - DobberProspects

The starter for the U18-NTDP and associated tournaments, Kempf is a better goaltender than the stats would suggest. Like Augustine in the role before him, he has excellent technical and skating abilities. This, in combination with his anticipation, gives him a chance on every shot. He’s athletic enough to make out-of-the-box saves when called upon and never gives up on pucks.
