Again, show me your magic crystal ball that lets you have unlimited access to multiple universes where things happen slightly differently

If we're using last years numbers as the template, 58 extra goals last season from Laine and Nylander certainly would have bumped us up a few spots in the standings.

Scant information here, but I jumped into the car this afternoon, around 4 ish????

Listened to 1040....I know, I know!

There was an analyst speaking about what I thought was Pettersson, and he said that,

Pettersson's SHL points compare to OHL points of approx. 4 points per game

Did anyone hear anything about that?

That's really cool.  I say this guy will be our Gretzky.

I might of miss-understood Alf......but it's a pro league compared to junior......it has to be up there.....just looking for info.

I wonder if anyone heard the whole story?

It doesn't matter.  The guy is going to be our needed difference maker.  There was only one super elite player in last year's first round, and we got him. ::D

Nah, you heard right. Some dude from Canucks Army uses some kind of metric to compare point totals across leagues. I don't buy it, but that doesn't really matter. His point was that there are obvious reasons for Canucks fans to be excited about Elias.

 

edit: that was pretty much the whole story as it was only a couple minute interview

Are you referring to NHL equivalency points? Rob Vollman had these numbers at the end of last year: 

Updated translation factors

.74 KHL

.58 SHL 

.47 AHL

.43 SM-Liiga, Swiss NLA, NCHC

.38 H-East

.33 Big 10

.30 OHL

.29 WHL

.25 QMJHL

.23 ECAC

 

Take it for what its worth. They change and update all the time.

To clarify, are those numbers the expected production rate in the nhl?

The numbers try to capture what would be the equivalent production in the NHL. So based on the the .58 figure quoted above. Pettersson so far would have 28 points (SHL) x .58 = 16.24 NHL points in 21 NHL games. 

 

It should be noted that NHLe tends to improve in accuracy greatly over larger sample sizes. So it might be better to wait until the end of the SHL season to really look at it. At that point more accurate translation factors should also be available. I would say the value in NHLe isn't its able to predict NHL production but rather it does a decent job in comparing prospects from across non-NHL leagues. It's a decent tool to look at when considering draft prospects.

So 21 x 3.9 = 81.963 (roughly 82)

Meaning that Pettersson's 16.24 points multiplied by 3.9 would be his current NHL projection this year.

 

So if Pettersson were in the NHL this year, and his current numbers were extrapolated over an 82 game season, his total points would be 63.336, so let's say 63. 63 points in 82 games.

 

Yay math!
