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

Scouting Feed

Robins signed with Rytiři Kladno in the Czechia on September 10, 2025. The 23-year-old forward appeared in three NHL games over three seasons as a professional with the San Jose Sharks, part of the Fabian Zetterlund trade to the Ottawa Senators in March. However, Robins failed to earn a new contract with the Senators in the off-season, thus prompting a move to Europe. Playing overseas takes him off the fantasy radar. There is no reason to roster Robins in any league.

Robins was not qualified for an offer by the Ottawa Senators before July 1, 2025 and is an unrestricted free agent.

Traded at the deadline from San Jose, Robins played mainly in a bottom-six center role during his 14 games in the AHL with the Belleville Senators, he scored one goal and added five assists for six points.

Robins was traded to the Ottawa Senators with Fabian Zetterlund.

Starting off this past campaign injured, Robins played just 42 games for the Barracuda in 23-24. Hoping to enter 24-25 healthy, expect Robins to start the year in the AHL but possibly receive an NHL opportunity at some point.

Robins has stormed out of the gates this season as one of the top talents in the WHL this season. Currently third in league scoring with 10 goals and 28 points in 17 games, he is relied upon in all situations for the Blades, often playing almost 30 minutes a night. There are very few weaknesses in Robins’ game as he pairs his balanced offensive output with a conscious, 200-foot game. His development since being drafted has progressed smoothly and he looks more projectable to the NHL level with each passing season. Robins may not have the pure skill to be a point per game talent on his own, however he has the versatility to play anywhere in the lineup and the offensive pop to be a secondary option on a scoring line.

After a disappointing rookie season in the WHL, Robins was dominant throughout the 2019-20 campaign, nearly tripling his output on the scoresheet. Robins is a rare breed in that he does almost everything well and very few things poorly. He may not be a generational talent but his all-around skill set bodes well for him finding a middle-six role one day. He still has a long way to come developmentally but Sharks fans should sleep well knowing they may have snagged a winner at 56th overall.

Robins was drafted 56th overall by the San Jose Sharks.

An older player for the class, Robins exploded for the Blades in 2019-20. His 33 goals and 73 points in 63 contests ranked third for draft-eligible WHL players. Despite his size, Robins is unafraid to engage physically – often looking for the big hit along the boards. He mixes quick hands with a heavy and deceitful release. Something of a polarizing prospect, he could go anywhere from the mid-fist-round all the way into the middle rounds.
