Anthony Beauvillier

Last Season

Fifteen goals and 13 assists in all 82 games — 28 points, plus-seven, at 15:48 a night with thirty penalty minutes.

His 713th career game and his 299th point.

The Finesse Game

Two hundred and thirty-two unblocked attempts, sixteen goals, median 19 feet with 53 per cent from inside twenty and only fourteen per cent from beyond forty.

That is a very good chart and fifteen goals from it is an ordinary conversion. Thirteen assists in a full season is the flat part and 299 points in 713 games is the honest rate of a third-line winger.

The Physical Game

Five foot eleven, 181, and light. Thirty penalty minutes.

He goes to the interior without much to bring and gets there on quickness. There is no wall game.

The Intangibles

Forty-eight point five per cent of the expected goals, 40th percentile, and 49 per cent of the shot attempts, 45th, across 1,144 minutes, with the goals level at 45-46.

Below-average chance share in sixteen minutes a night, and the plus-seven on top is the usual explanation.

Five points in his last ten, three of them goals. He is 29, a twenty-eighth overall pick, and on his sixth organisation in four years. Seven hundred games of being useful and never quite necessary.
