Projected potential

Bio

A smart, poised winger who is patient in high-traffic areas and has a good ability to score from mid-range. Needs to improve his speed and explosiveness to be considered an option at the NHL level.

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

Alex Wyatt - DobberProspects

Jake Richards saw an offensive pop in his NCAA sophomore season. His 15 goals, 28 assists and 43 points in 34 games mark at least a doubling of each metric. Several of the University of Connecticut’s top offensive players moved on prior to the season, and Richard lapped up the new deployment. The 20 year old, sixth-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres remains unsigned at present, and we will need to wait to see if he gets to head to the AHL, or takes another turn in the NCAA in 2025-2026.

Mark Henry - DobberProspects

The Buffalo Sabres drafted Richard in the sixth round (170th overall) in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
