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
49 games, 7 goals and 9 assists for 16 points, 5 on the power play, 14 penalty minutes, 14:34 a night and minus-15, with 1 game-winner. He took 47.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 588 minutes, the 36th percentile, and his ice went 14-23 against an expectation of 21.78-23.77.
Eight goals of finishing below what the chances were worth — the third-worst figure on the club in barely half a season. He shot 7.6 per cent against a career 13.79, and a minus-15 in 49 games is very hard to do.
The Finesse Game
128 attempts at a median of 33 feet with 27 per cent of them from inside twenty, 90 of those on goal, converted at 7.6 per cent against a career 13.79 across 1,037 shots.
143 career goals and 207 assists in 617 games. Five of his seven goals last season came on the power play, which is the highest share of anybody on the roster and says most of what needs saying about the even-strength half of his season.
The Physical Game
He is 6-3 and 203 and took 14 penalty minutes.
155 career penalty minutes in 617 games. He is a large winger who plays a small man’s game — he beats people with hands and edges in tight space and avoids contact rather than initiating it, and the frame has never been part of what he does.
The Intangibles
Twenty-third overall in 2013 by Washington, ten seasons, three organisations, and 350 points in 617 games.
Thirty-one career game-winners out of 143 goals, and a career plus-37. He has scored 39 points in 49 games in one Seattle season and 16 in 49 in the other, which is the whole difficulty with him.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 10 points of one another. 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.
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 — 69 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.

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
- SEA took 50.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 47.8% — 3.0 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 588 minutes at five-on-five — 24th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jamie Oleksiak | 42.4% | 50.9% | 51.1% |
| Will Borgen | 42.3% | 50.9% | 51.1% |
| Adam Larsson | 49.2% | 47.2% | 48.3% |
42.4% together, 50.9% for him apart and 51.1% for Oleksiak apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
128 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 7 of them goals. His median goal came from 26 feet. 27% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 20% from beyond forty.
