Draft Rankings

Here are the 2023 NHL Draft Rankings based on Chace McCallum's NHLe data

NHLe Summary

Equivalency

A measure of how many points can we expect a player to have in their 1st NHL season - based on point production in their previous league

Translation

Different hockey leagues have different equivalency measures, and scoring more in a tougher league equals a stronger NHLe number

COMPARISON

When also factoring in age, NHLe can standardize the ranking of various players from multiple leagues and compare with historical results for reference
