CHL forwards by NHLE 2016

One of the most frustrating things about evaluating prospects in the advanced stats era of hockey is the shabby state of junior and lower pro leagues' stats. Things have actually gotten better recently thanks to sites like Prospect Stats, but we're still a long ways away from having useful contextual factors and underlying numbers like possession, zone starts and quality of competition.

Nevertheless, we do what we can. To that end I have put together a list of CHL forwards ranked by certain offensive outputs: NHL equivalence (a factor that translates the players' output to NHL output by considering the relative quality of the league he's in), even strength primary points per game and percentage of team scoring.
