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
80 games with the Rangers, 4 goals and 8 assists for 12 points, 1 shorthanded, 78 penalty minutes, 12:34 a night and minus-13, with 1 game-winner. He took 40.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 836 minutes, the 10th percentile, and his ice went 21-36 against an expectation of 25.02-37.45.
Four goals of finishing below what the chances were worth and a goal and a half of goaltending above them. Twelve points in 80 games is the lowest total of any full season he has played.
The Finesse Game
81 attempts at a median of 23 feet with 46 per cent of them from inside twenty, 55 of those on goal, converted at 6.6 per cent against a career 9.10 across 659 shots.
One power-play goal in 572 career games. Everything he produces comes from going to the net and from the forecheck; 109 career assists is the puck he wins on the wall handed to somebody who can do something with it.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 210 and took 78 penalty minutes.
509 career penalty minutes in 572 games. He is the heaviest forechecker on this roster and finishes every check he can reach, fights when the club needs one, and has built a decade out of doing the parts of the job nobody volunteers for.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, ten seasons, three organisations, and 169 points in 572 games.
Four career shorthanded goals and a career plus-16. He was undrafted, played parts of six seasons in San Jose to begin with, and comes back at 31 to a club that has 47 points.
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.
- measuredcomputed here from the season's own data
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
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 eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 67 points above where the numbers do. 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. Why the numbers land there sets out the club he did it on, the minutes he played and the men he played them with.
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 — 74 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 84.5
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
2023-24 with NYR · 836 minutes at five-on-five
- Jimmy Vesey77%
- Tyler Pitlickoff the roster32%
- Nick Boninooff the roster16%
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
- NYR took 50.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 40.1% — 10.0 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 836 minutes at five-on-five — 42nd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jimmy Vesey | 44.1% | 27.5% | 49.4% |
| K'Andre Miller | 37.5% | 42.0% | 51.7% |
| Jacob Trouba | 37.9% | 41.4% | 51.0% |
44.1% together, 27.5% for him apart and 49.4% for Vesey apart. He was the one being carried: the share went with Vesey and did not follow 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
81 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 14 feet. 47% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 20% from beyond forty.
