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
5.0
50% 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
3.0
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

You’re a mean one, Mr Kearns. The Kraken selected for snarl when they drafted the 6-4, 212 lbs Finn Kearns with their first fifth round selection. Kearns had an interesting development path in his draft year, playing 15 games in the OHL, 53 in Triple-A, and some games in the Prep league. His offensive tools are not notable, especially in comparison to his physical game, but they won’t be what punches his ticket to higher levels of hockey.

DobberProspects

Kearns has committed to the NCAA this fall, where he will skate with the University of Massachusetts, and we will be able to see how he fares against tighter systems and bigger players.

Alex Wyatt - DobberProspects

Kearns is a raw prospect, and defensemen especially are notorious for long development arcs. If you choose to draft Kearns in your league, be prepared to wait a few years as he develops, and ensure that your league will reward you for the hits and penalty minutes he is likely to provide in excess.
