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
56 games, 15 goals and 9 assists for 24 points, 1 on the power play, 52 penalty minutes, 11:34 a night and plus-13. He took 49.3 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 590 minutes, the 47th percentile, and his ice went 29-18 against an expectation of 22.42-23.02.
Seven goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and five goals of goaltending above them. The plus-13 is the third-best figure on the club and it came from a fourth-line winger nobody drafted.
The Finesse Game
150 attempts at a median of 28 feet with 34 per cent of them from inside twenty and 29 per cent from beyond forty, 112 of those on goal, converted at 12.7 per cent against a career 11.03 across 136 shots.
Fifteen career goals in 66 games. He is a straight-line winger who arrives at the net with the puck rather than waiting for it there, and fifteen goals in 56 games at eleven and a half minutes a night is a rate no undrafted 27-year-old is supposed to produce.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 217 and took 52 penalty minutes.
Fifty-four career penalty minutes in 66 games. He is large and fast and finishes checks at speed, and he takes more penalties for arriving late than a fourth-line winger normally can afford.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, two seasons, and 25 points in 66 games.
He was not drafted, reached the league at 26, and scored 15 goals in his first 56 NHL games of any consequence.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 37 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 — 77 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.
Usual linemates
2023-24 · 590 minutes at five-on-five
- David Kampf39%
- John Tavares38%
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
- TOR took 52.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.3% — 2.8 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 590 minutes at five-on-five — 24th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| John Tavares | 57.6% | 43.4% | 54.7% |
| David Kampf | 45.5% | 51.4% | 43.7% |
| TJ Brodie | 43.0% | 52.9% | 50.4% |
57.6% together, 43.4% for him apart and 54.7% for Tavares apart. He was worse away from Tavares, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Tavares did.
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
150 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 15 of them goals. His median goal came from 17 feet. 34% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 29% from beyond forty.
