Ask the book

2026-27 edition Ask a direct question about this edition of the book — who, how many, how common, which group more — and it is answered with a table computed on this page from the edition’s index: the season line, height and age, the on-ice percentiles, the grades and the traits read out of every report. Ask for a view on named players — what a comparison comes down to, what makes a man — and you get the book’s reading of their own pages, and only those. The model turns your question into a query and phrases the result, or reads the pages it is handed; it never originates a figure, and an answer carrying a figure that is on neither the table nor the pages is withheld. It does not forecast, and it says so when a question is outside what the book holds.

Tables are computed on this page from the 2026-27 edition’s index; readings rest on the players’ own pages; the model never counts. Twenty questions an hour.

This Season So Far

The 2026-27 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

26 appearances, 10-10-3, a 3.28 goals-against average and a .8927 save percentage, no shutouts. His career figure across 168 games is .9135.

Over his last 10 appearances, .897 on 272 shots.

The Physical Game

6-6 and 248 pounds, and among the largest goaltenders in the league. He fills the net standing up and the shot from distance has nowhere to go.

The difficulty is the same one every goaltender this size has: getting down, getting back, and holding the post when the play moves laterally. He is beaten on the second chance more than on the first.

The Mental Game

He has been a backup for 9 seasons, has never played 40 games, and has a career save percentage of .9135 — which is a genuinely good number produced almost entirely in short bursts.

The concussion history is real and is the reason the workload has never grown.

The Intangibles

3 goaltenders played 20 or more games for Toronto last season and stopped .8984, .8927 and .9124. The club conceded 206 goals at 5-on-5 against an expected 184.6 — 21 worse than its chances, the third-worst mark in the league.

The best of the 3 was Hildeby, who is now in Tampa. The worst was Woll, who is now in Philadelphia. The club replaced them with a 37-year-old who stopped .8768.

He is 32, and on this depth chart he is either the starter or the answer to a problem the club has not solved.
