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
5 goals and 3 assists in 77 games — 8 points at 13:47 a night, minus-37, the worst figure in this edition, with 75 penalty minutes.
38.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five — the 0th percentile, the worst chance share of any regular player in this book. His ice went 14-48 against an expectation of 23.43-38.10. The goals against matched the chances exactly, which is the point: this was not bad luck.
The Finesse Game
73 attempts at a median of 24 feet with 45 per cent from inside 20, and 5 goals. He gets to the paint and there is nothing there — 65 goals in 649 NHL games.
3 assists in 77 games. There is no playmaking at all and there has not been for some years; the offensive record has collapsed since he left Tampa Bay.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 210 and he hits everything. He forechecks hard, he blocks shots, and he fights.
75 penalty minutes in 77 games, and 584 in 649 career games. He crosses the line, he answers everything, and he is genuinely difficult to play against — which is the entire argument and it has to be weighed against a 38.6 per cent chance share.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, and he won two Stanley Cups in Tampa Bay as a fourth-line centre before the contract that has followed him ever since.
He was claimed on waivers from the Rangers in 2024, which is a club paying to be rid of a player it had traded three draft picks to acquire. He is 32 and 649 games in.
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.
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
- 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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 12 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 — 65 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.

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.

Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2024-25
- The club
- SJS took 44.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 38.1% — 6.1 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 839 minutes at five-on-five — 39th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luke Kunin | 34.0% | 40.8% | 44.5% |
| Mario Ferraro | 41.8% | 36.2% | 47.5% |
| Cody Ceci | 30.0% | 41.9% | 42.9% |
34.0% together, 40.8% for him apart and 44.5% for Kunin apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
106 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 45% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 25% from beyond forty.
