Bio

September 2026 – Wesley Royston is a big, fast power winger the Montreal Canadiens took 190th overall, a size-and-skating swing on a player whose production has not caught up to his tools. He split 2025-26 between the Erie Otters and Owen Sound Attack after an October trade, finishing with 12 goals and 19 points in […]

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

Scouting Feed

Wesley Royston is a big, fast power winger the Montreal Canadiens took 190th overall, a size-and-skating swing on a player whose production has not caught up to his tools. He split 2025-26 between the Erie Otters and Owen Sound Attack after an October trade, finishing with 12 goals and 19 points in 59 games and 80 penalty minutes. At 6-foot-4 he is one of the fastest skaters in the Ontario Hockey League at any size, a genuinely rare trait, and his shot is better than the point totals suggest, with in-stride wristers and net-front finishes when he commits to the hard areas. When he is engaged, he is a hammer on the forecheck and along the walls. The problem is consistency, and it is real: too many nights the physical presence and the offense both disappear. Central Scouting still ranked him 80th among North American skaters, and the Dallas Stars were among the teams that interviewed him. He returns to Owen Sound for 2026-27. For fantasy he is a boom-or-bust bottom-six power-forward flyer whose ceiling depends entirely on stringing together the effort, so treat him as a deep-league monitor, with a more consistent, higher-scoring season the thing to watch before any add.
