There's a Canucks blogger who does analysis on CHL prospects using only points. It's pretty in depth stuff but he doesn't watch any games only the stats. Anyways he was crying for the Canucks to draft both Andersson and Kylington all year and he doesn't let them forget it when his "picks' turn out better than the actual ones. I'm looking forward to his whining.

It's actually extremely fascinating stuff. They use quite a bit more than points. It's called Prospect Cohort Success (PCS) model and they are building a database that finds similar prospects and determines potential NHL success. It uses scoring rates and adjusts for era and league (ie QMJHL now vs 10 years ago), height, and age (fairly specific, not just draft year). Basically, it finds players that followed similar routes with similar attributes and gives you the rate of success (200 games in nhl I believe?) for those players.
Really interesting. Kylington had very few comparables as he scored so early.

Note: finding comparables to Kylington's 16-year old season is nearly impossible. No one has ever been as young as he is and produced at his level in Swedish professional hockey. His only close 2014 comparable is from his time in the SuperElit, and is Erik Karlsson.

Here's the introduction to it. Looks to be a fantastic tool they continue to tweak:
