Projected potential

Bio

A physical two-way forward who battles hard for pucks and is willing to take a hit to make a play. Has bottom-six potential and could have value in higher-scoring hits leagues.

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.

Scouting Feed

After dominating the OHL in 2023-2024 with 39 goals and 65 assists for 104 points in 66 games, a move from the North Bay Battalion to the Barrie Colts saw his offense go stale. Wakely played 55 games and only scored 23 goals and 35 assists for 58 points. The Colts were a much different team than the Battalion, and despite the decline in offense, Wakely was just a point behind team leader Kashawn Aitcheson in nine fewer games. Wakely projects more as a bottom-six player who provides grit, and though the offensive slide may feel disappointing, it was likely an anomaly anyways. Wakely is still worth watching in leagues where banger categories are coveted. He will head to UMass-Lowell of the NCAA next season.

The Edmonton Oilers drafted Wakely in the sixth round (192nd overall) in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.
