Bio

September 2026 – Luka Arkko is a big, physical net-front winger the Detroit Red Wings selected 175th overall, a late-round swing on size and a nose for the crease. He spent 2025-26 mostly with the Lahti Pelicans’ under-20 team in Finland’s top junior league, posting 11 goals and 25 points in 42 games, and added […]

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
3.0
30% 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
3.0
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

Luka Arkko is a big, physical net-front winger the Detroit Red Wings selected 175th overall, a late-round swing on size and a nose for the crease. He spent 2025-26 mostly with the Lahti Pelicans’ under-20 team in Finland’s top junior league, posting 11 goals and 25 points in 42 games, and added strong international showings for Finland at the under-18 level. At 6-foot-3 and over 210 pounds he plays an inside-driven game, forechecking hard, distributing smartly from down low, and taking pucks to the net, and his best projectable trait is as a net-front power-play threat, where he flashes soft hands on backhands and cross-crease looks. The concern is that he is extremely raw and mechanical at times, and the skating and processing need real work. He comes to North America this fall, signing with the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League after being taken in the CHL Import Draft, which puts him on smaller ice under closer development. For fantasy he is a deep-league monitor whose case depends on the tools becoming production against tougher competition, so file him away and watch how his game translates to the OHL.
