NHL odds are the chance he becomes a full-time NHL player — 200 games by age 26, or 100 by 27 for a goalie. Impact odds are the chance he becomes better than the typical regular at his position.

The score is a percentile of the expected outcome across every prospect in the league, so forwards, defensemen and goalies sit on one scale. The rankings update every night.
