Projected potential

Bio

Sharp-shooting winger with strong off-puck movement and puck protection tools. Skating and defensive improvements required, but has middle-six upside.

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
9.0
90% 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
8.5
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Greentree was the centerpiece of the Artemi Panarin trade and is now a member of the New York Rangers. With the Rangers signalling a retool, perhaps the fact that he was the key piece in moving out a marquee player bodes well for his eventual deployment at the NHL level. He was already a must-own in deep leagues, and he’s certainly not lost any value with the move.

Greentree dominated the OHL in the 2024-2025 season; his 49 goals, 70 assists, and 119 points in 64 games marked a 29-point increase over his performance the season prior in the same number of games.

Greentree was selected 26th by the Kings.

Greentree’s season has gone impressively well so far for the Spitfires, with 11 goals and 13 assists in 15 games to start the year. A lot of his points have come off one-touch plays off the cycle, but the occasional off-the-boards play while protecting the puck shows the potential for more, especially with his 6-foot-2, almost 200-pound frame.

His offense sat him third in OHL scoring, behind only draft-eligible phenom Michael Misa and fellow Windsor Spitfire Ilya Protas. To provide further context to his offensive outburst, since 2009, he ranks 23rd in points per game pace and 14th among players 18 years old or younger. He fell just short of the 50-goal mark and missed the chance to hit the milestone after being suspended for the final two games of the season due to a hit from behind. Greentree also provided 60 penalty minutes on the season and should be a sought-after target for your multi-category leagues.

Following the regular season, the Spitfires’ captain posted 14 goals and 10 assists for 24 points in 11 games. He will likely get a season with the AHL’s Ontario Reign after he concludes his OHL playing career, and could make a fantastic line-mate to the King’s Quinton Byfield for years to come.

A rifle shot and a knack for finding soft ice away from the puck allow Greentree to make the most out of his scoring chances. His playmaking shows up in flashes, which are hindered by his inconsistent scanning, and his skating holds him back from consistently jumping into offensive zone transitions. Still, the upside as a middle-six scoring winger with power-forward elements will likely see him go higher on draft day than we have him. (November rankings: 28th overall)
