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. WAR if he sticks is the middle outcome among his comparables who made it. 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.
