Old Prospector: Wild Prospects' NHL Equivalency

Digging through Minnesota Wild prospect production to find their NHLe.

The season is underway and we are going to periodically check in with Minnesota Wild prospects to see how their seasons are going. These posts won't be giving a scouting report -- though maybe a bit at times -- so much as providing a NHL equivalency (NHLe) update, a stat created by Gabriel Desjardins years ago.

NHLe is a formula that assumes each player playing in a league outside the NHL would bring just a portion of that production into the NHL. By measuring the offense created by other players who moved from that league to the NHL we can get an equation that creates an average of how offense from a league transfers into the NHL.
