Given Derek Grant's superb season in Stockton I asked myself the question what the NHL equivalence next year for a player like Derek at age 25 lightening in up in the AHL should he make the Flames next season.
I used the following reference (Gabriel Desjardins source from
http://www.coppernblue.com/2010/7/6/...quivalencies):
AHL: age 25 0.47 (0.25-0.69)
That translates to 30/26 X 0.47 (0.25-0.69) = 44 pts with a range of 23 points to 64 points.
Large caveat, the sample size of these numbers is tiny though with few patients promoted from AHL to NHL after age 25.
Pretty decent production potential nevertheless.
