Last Season

Four goals and 10 assists in 66 games — 14 points, minus-four, at 12:01 a night with 22 penalty minutes.

Twenty-eight points in 114 career games.

The Finesse Game

A hundred and fifteen unblocked attempts, four goals, median 31 feet with 37 per cent from inside twenty and 30 per cent from beyond forty.

Four goals from a hundred and fifteen attempts is a poor conversion off middling ice. Ten assists in 66 games is the more encouraging half and he is a better passer than a shooter.

The Physical Game

Six foot two, 204, and solidly built. Twenty-two penalty minutes.

He wins faceoffs at a good rate — it is the most developed part of his game — and he is willing on the wall without dominating there.

The Intangibles

Forty-two point one per cent of the expected goals, fourth percentile, against 47.1 per cent of the shot attempts, 27th, across 722 minutes — with the goals 15 for and 38 against.

Fifteen goals for in seven hundred minutes is the lowest rate on the club and the five-point gap between attempts and chances says the shots against were the dangerous kind.

Two points in his last ten. He is 23, was once ranked to go first overall and fell to the second round, and this is a fourth-line centre’s page. The faceoffs are real; nothing else here is yet.
