28 points and a 14.7 per cent rate, and a winger who has not been the 35-goal player since 2022.

This Season So Far

The 2025-26 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

14 goals and 14 assists in 81 games for 28 points, even, on 13:02 a night with Washington, including a shorthanded goal.

95 shots in 81 games is a low volume and 14.7 per cent conversion is above his career rate. 28 points on the best regular-season club in the league is a bottom-six return.

The Finesse Game

Better hands than the recent numbers suggest and a release that used to be a genuine weapon. The 35-goal season in Calgary was four years ago and everything since has been in the 30-40 point range.

What remains is a winger who protects the puck well below the goal line and can make a play at moderate speed. The volume is the problem — 95 shots in a full season is not enough to score.

The Physical Game

5-10 and 183, and he plays hard for the size. He forechecks with real force, goes into corners against defencemen, and does not get discouraged.

24 penalty minutes over 81 games. The durability has been excellent — four consecutive full seasons.

The Intangibles

A sixth-round pick who became a 35-goal scorer and then stopped, across three organisations.

At 29 the projection is a third-line winger who forechecks and scores 15. Edmonton is buying the possibility that a man who has spent three years in defensive roles on defensive clubs looks different beside a 100-point centre. That is a reasonable bet at the price.

What kind of player

The searchable half of the report. The first group is computed from the season's own data; the rest are read out of the prose above, and each one carries the sentence that produced it. A subject the report never raised is simply absent.

Each computed tag also says how well its measure holds up from one season to the next, because a tag describes a season that has finished and a reader will assume it predicts the one coming. Some do and some do not, and the gap is wide: five-on-five workload repeats well, scoring late does not repeat at all.

The numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2024-25 · 908 minutes

Expected goals: 51%; 63rd pct
Shot attempts: 52.7%; 80th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 28 for, 24 against. Expected: 33.7 and 32.4.

The eye and the numbers

Report

72nd

Numbers

63rd

The two rank him within 9 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 76 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2024-25 · 81 games

Top speed: 22.5 mph; 65th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 1.31 a game
Distance: 2.10 miles a game
Hardest shot: 89.3 mph; 75th pct

A top speed is a season's best, and a man who takes more shifts gets more tries at one; the percentile is the feed's own, against every skater, and says less between a top-pair defenceman and a fourth-line wing than it does between two men in the same job. The counts are shown per game for the same reason.

Usual linemates

2024-25 with WSH · 908 minutes at five-on-five

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, 2024-25

The club: WSH took 50.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.0% — 0.2 above the club he did it on.
The role: Fourth line, 908 minutes at five-on-five — 47th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Lars Eller	51.2%	50.9%	48.0%
Rasmus Sandin	52.9%	49.8%	51.0%
Jakob Chychrun	48.1%	52.2%	48.7%

51.2% together, 50.9% for him apart and 48.0% for Eller apart. Eller was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Eller than for him.

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

139 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 14 of them goals. His median goal came from 17 feet. 47% of his shots came from inside twenty feet.
