This Season So Far
The 2024-25 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.
Last Season
78 games with Columbus, 12 goals and 18 assists for 30 points, 2 shorthanded, 38 penalty minutes, 15:11 a night and minus-5, with 1 game-winner. He took 42.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 997 minutes, the 21st percentile, and his ice went 38-47 against an expectation of 39.51-52.66.
Two goals of finishing below what the chances were worth and six goals of goaltending above them. Thirty points is a career high by ten.
The Finesse Game
157 attempts at a median of 31 feet with 34 per cent of them from beyond forty and 31 per cent from inside twenty, 110 of those on goal, converted at 11.0 per cent against a career 11.41 across 298 shots.
Zero power-play goals in 201 career games, and 34 goals in total. He shoots from distance more than a man with his hands should and has never been given a unit; the even-strength game is quick and direct and the rest is unproven.
The Physical Game
He is 6-1 and 196 and took 38 penalty minutes.
Eighty-two career penalty minutes in 201 games. He is an ordinary-sized winger who skates well and does not initiate contact, and there is nothing in the physical game that will win him ice he has not already earned.
The Intangibles
Forty-fifth overall in 2017 by Columbus, five seasons, two organisations, and 79 points in 201 games.
Three career shorthanded goals and a career minus-12. He was born in Saint-Martin-d’Heres, France, and at 25 a change of club is the last obvious thing left to try.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 47 points above where the numbers do. It was written for a back edition, with the seasons that followed already known. Neither the agreement nor the gap says anything about the eye, and this report is excluded from the club-level comparison for the same reason. Why the numbers land there sets out the club he did it on, the minutes he played and the men he played them with.
Both bars are percentiles among the 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 71 on their own scale — against every other report's mean. The numbers bar ranks his share of expected goals. A gap is a disagreement about where he belongs, not two scales talking past each other.
Usual linemates
2023-24 with CBJ · 997 minutes at five-on-five
- Sean Kuraly30%
Share of his five-on-five ice time spent alongside each player, measured from shift charts. Special teams are excluded: a power-play unit is not a line.
Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2023-24
- The club
- CBJ took 45.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 42.9% — 3.0 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 997 minutes at five-on-five — 57th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cole Sillinger | 43.3% | 42.6% | 44.2% |
| Zach Werenski | 43.6% | 42.5% | 49.6% |
| Ivan Provorov | 41.0% | 43.9% | 46.9% |
43.3% together, 42.6% for him apart and 44.2% for Sillinger apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
Expected-goal share while both were on the ice, and for each man in the minutes he played without the other. Apart is the pair subtracted from his own totals. It does not settle who was carrying whom — apart from each other, both were still playing with somebody — but it does say whether the share travelled when the pairing broke up.
Where he shoots from
goal on goal missed
157 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 14 of them goals. His median goal came from 21 feet. 31% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 34% from beyond forty.
