Kim and Spence were my 2 favorite underrated prospects since they were drafted. Spence looking good and hope Kim follows as well.

Since the trade dealine, Kings have signed college free agent Taylor Ward, signed prospects: goaltender David Hrenak, LW Samuel Helenius, LW Andre Lee and now Nousiainen.
Shows to me Blake is focused on getting better and on a mission to keep building Ontario, that has been feeding the Kings....makes me feel that this off-season, will be making the Kings better. 5 more adds to the system, only builds a stronger asset base.

I appreciate the charts but I get a kick out of the fact the 5'9 170 pound defenseman's number 1 full comp is Dustin Byfugulien. I know the chart is talking about development patterns, not size but it's still kinda funny.

lol for sure - Bader's model simply measures how production would typically translate at each level and what the equivalent would roughly look like at the NHL level going off the development curves. There's some flaws with such a simple model of course (which is why Faber's NHL-player likelihood appears too low, for example), but there's enough historical data there to give you a general idea of how someone's point totals might shake out down the road.

Should be noted that Rob Vollman who heads up the Kings analytics dept, pioneered NHLe along with some other metrics: About Rob Vollman - Hockey Abstract

"Hockey Prospecting standardizes player scoring across the board and uses historical performances to chart how prospects will perform in the NHL. Our model removes intangible biases such as age, size, league, position and nationality. We do this by putting all players on the same playing field, based on their offensive production. Too often a player’s size, age or background is held against them. Not here.

Our model goes all the way back to 1990, with nearly 6,000 players in total. By comparing the offensive production of all players during that time we found a pattern, which shows how a players’ scoring production, normalized by league, along with the rate they develop, can predict which players will succeed and/or thrive at the NHL level. The history in the model also allows us to provide comparisons to existing and former players, to show you whose career a prospect might be mimicking.

Our model, in part, is based on the concept of NHLe. Not familiar with NHLe? It stands for NHL Equivalency and is an equation to interpret how the player’s point production in their given league would translate to the NHL. This website – Hockey Prospecting – is, in fact, the largest publicly available NHLe resource."
