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
27 games with Florida, 16-7-2 with a .9254 and a 2.03, 2 shutouts, facing 684 shots.
Both of those were the best figures of any goaltender who played twenty-five games last season. Florida allowed the fifth-fewest expected goals per 60 at even strength in the league, which is the honest caveat; a .9254 behind any club is still a .9254.
The Physical Game
He is 6-6 and 248 — the heaviest goaltender in this edition.
He takes up an enormous amount of net simply by being in it and plays deep and square rather than challenging out, which means the first shot is almost always covered. The push across the crease is the part that has to be watched at that size, and it has not cost him yet.
The Mental Game
A career .9145 across 108 games with 8 shutouts.
He has been above .9170 in five of his seven seasons and below .9010 in the other two, which is the record of a goaltender who has never had a settled job rather than an inconsistent one. He has never played more than 28 games in a season.
The Intangibles
Forty-fifth overall in 2012 by Philadelphia, seven seasons, and Toronto will be his fifth organisation.
Forty-three career wins in 108 games. He is 30, he has never played more than 28 games in a season, and Toronto has made him the answer to the one department it could not fix.
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.

- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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.
“He takes up an enormous amount of net simply by being in it and plays deep and square rather than challenging out, which means the first shot is almost always covered.”
