Projected potential

Bio

A smaller, heavy-hitting power forward with a nose for the net and a shot to match. Undrafted in his first year of eligibility, he will need to develop his skating and strength for his play style to translate to the NHL. Projects as a bottom 6 winger with scoring upside and decent peripherals.

PNHLe

Projected potential: 58 · 2nd Line Potential2025-26 · NCAA · Western Michigan Univ.

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

Cowan kicks off his NCAA season with an exhibition game with his new squad at Western Michigan University. He has played primarily in his home state off Minnesota as a youth before playing a year with the Madison Capitals of the USHL and then committing to the NCAA the following year. Cowan recorded 51 points (21G, 29A) in 57 games with the Capitals in 2024-25- good enough for 3rd on the team in points and top -30 in the league with 61 PIMS to boot- playing with teammate and 2025 first-round pick Ryker Lee. Look for Cowan to continue to develop his game with the Broncos and gain some valuable experience with the club. The Broncos won their first national title last year, defeating Boston University and look poised to make another run. Should Cowan’s game make the appropriate strides, he may hear his name called in his second year of NHL draft eligibility.
