NHLe or NHL equivalency is the projected NHL point totals for a player playing in another league.
Each league has it's own equivalency (this equivalency is calculated based on historical values of players making the jump from their respective league to the NHL). For example the OHL has an equivalency rate of .30. Meaning that every point in the OHL is projected to be .30 points in the NHL.
So to calculate the NHLe for any player, you take their pts/g * the league equivalency * 82, and that gives a "projection" of what that means in terms of NHL points.
Obviously this is not perfect and there are flaws in this type of analysis.
