Projected potential

Bio

A mobile butterfly-style goaltender who has control of his net, he is a long-term project who will struggle to find an NHL opportunity.

PNHLe

PNHLe data is not available for this prospect yet.

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
3.5
35% 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
3.5
 
Best-case offensive upside (peak season points potential). Forwards: 8.0 ≈ 80 points. Defense and goalie scales differ.

Scouting Feed

The Minnesota Wild signed their 2024 fifth-round pick (142nd overall), Chase Wutzke, to a three-year, entry-level contract starting with the 2025-26 season on September 22, 2025. He is a long way from seeing NHL minutes and will look to bounce back season with the Red Deer Rebels after a down year in 2024-25 (in large part to the talent in front of him), playing in the Western Hockey League during the 2025-26 season. Wutzke will provide the Wild with organizational depth at the goaltending position; there is no reason to have him on your fantasy radar.
