What this draft slot returns.
Base rate for the exact pick, a history, never a forecastdraft-position study · 2026-07-14-prospect-translation-v2.32
2020 draft#69round 3 · CAR
Rates: insufficient sample (n=10 of 32): no NHLer/impact/star/stayer rate shown for this cohort.
Sample: 10 players taken #69, drawn only from classes old enough to judge, on the Schuckers-style pick curve published on Draft Value. A base rate describes a slot, not a person: it cannot predict this career and is not used to grade it.
Floor rule: rates below a minimum sample are suppressed, not shown thin. Exact slot needs 12+ players, the pooled pick-curve band needs 32+, matching this site's builders to the nhl-draft-intel engine's own bucket-calibration floors (12 / 18 / 32).

The comparable set.
Chosen by a printed rule, not by feelNHL dossier pool · 1,162 careers
Selection rule. Defencemen only; career games played within ±20% of 81 (or ±10 games, whichever band is wider: 65 to 97); then the five nearest by career P/GP, ties broken by the closest games played. The pool is the 1,162 players in this site's NHL dossier set who own at least one official regular-season game: 23 of them cleared the band.

Similar career shape is not similar player. The rule matches volume and rate only; it knows nothing about era, position within the group, usage or role, and two careers can land on the same line for opposite reasons.

Method: every figure and every percentile on this panel is published by the NHL Edge endpoint. This site converts nothing and ranks nothing. The percentile column is the league's own, against the tracked population for 2025-26. Speeds arrive in mph and km/h; distance is read in kilometres with the mile conversion stated beside it. Tracked seasons on file for this player: 2024-25, 2025-26.

Method: 122 shots on goal in 2025-26, placed by the NHL into the areas it names; each area is shaded by its share of his total, so this map is his distribution and not a comparison to any other player. The percentile column is the league's own for shots from that area, where it publishes one; nothing is converted, ranked or combined. Areas as the NHL names them; the drawing is to rink proportion with the net at the top.
