Projected potential: 272024-25 · OHL · Windsor Spitfires

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
2.0
20% 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

Mathurin spent most of his fourth OHL season on the top pair for the surprisingly good Windsor Spitfires, but his season was cut short in early March due to injury. Injuries have hampered Mathurin his entire junior career and he has yet to stay healthy for a full campaign. If he is dealing with these issues this early, it does not bode well for his outlook in a competitive Detroit Red Wings prospect system. He is moving to the NCAA in 2025 to play with UMass-Lowell, so he has a chance to gain some consistency and elongate his hockey career. He is certainly not on the fantasy radar at the moment.

The Detroit Red Wings drafted Mathurin in the fifth round (137th overall) in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
