Have to be careful here though, because there are few to no precedents for 18 year olds coming over from those leagues.
They used NHLe for players 25 and under for Laine and Puljujarvi. I don't think that's fair at all. I wonder if there are ANY 18 year olds in that data.
As for Matthews, not very many first round prospects ever come to the NHL from the Swiss league. So again, I think his NHLe is pretty meaningless.
