The draft room

224 picks, against a scouted board

Seven rounds, real lottery odds, and a board that was ranked before you got here. Trade down, reach, or take the best available — the room argues back. No sign-up, no explanation needed.

Scouting

Somebody watched all of them

962 prospects tracked through all 32 pipelines, 435 draft eligibles with a page each, and the top 32 of the 2027 board, ranked and tiered. The reports come from Draft Prospects Hockey, the scouting publication this platform grew out of.

The model

The half of the sport that didn't make it

18,669

players who never reached the NHL — drafted, scouted, ranked, and then not. They're in the model here, on purpose, because a projection trained only on survivors is a story, not a measurement.

The Model Lab The cohort model, shown step by step — how a 17-year-old's season becomes a projection, and where that projection gets thin. Open the lab → The Ledger The model's public record: its calls, its disagreements with the board, and the corrections it learned from being wrong. Read the ledger → What a pick is worth The measured 200-game hit rate for all 224 draft slots — not a chart from somewhere else, computed from the record here. See the curve →
