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
22 goals and 13 assists in 58 games — 35 points at 20:06 a night, minus-8, with 5 power-play goals, 1 shorthanded goal and 1 game-winner on 155 shots, converting at 14.19 per cent, and 28 penalty minutes. A broken jaw took a quarter of the season.
Twenty-two in fifty-eight is a thirty-one-goal rate at 31.
48.3 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 855 minutes, the 39th percentile. His ice went 29-39 against an expectation of 37.99-40.71 — eight goals of scoring missing.
The Finesse Game
155 attempts at a median of 19 feet, with 52 per cent from inside 20 and 16 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 14.19 per cent.
He goes to the net and he scores from the paint, and 192 goals in 715 career games is a genuine record for a player nobody has ever called a scorer.
13 assists. He does not create and he never has — 172 assists in 715 games is a checking centre’s line, and the club has never asked for more.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 204, and he forechecks first and finishes every check. He wins pucks below the goal line, he goes to the front of the net and takes the cross-check, and he has done it for eleven seasons.
410 penalty minutes in 715 games and he will fight. He is trusted a man short and he takes the hardest defensive assignment among the forwards.
The Intangibles
Thirty-seventh overall in 2011, out of Oshawa, and 715 games and 364 points at 31 with a career minus-67, all of them here.
He is the captain. Eleven seasons on a club that has made the playoffs twice, and he is still the man who goes to the front of the net first — that is the entire case for him, and on a team that finished twenty-ninth it is worth more than the counting line.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 47 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 201 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 73 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.

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
- CBJ took 45.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.3% — 2.4 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 855 minutes at five-on-five — 44th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Johnny Gaudreau | 50.4% | 38.1% | 47.9% |
| Zach Werenski | 49.2% | 47.4% | 46.6% |
| Jack Roslovic | 48.4% | 48.2% | 50.7% |
50.4% together, 38.1% for him apart and 47.9% for Gaudreau apart. He was worse away from Gaudreau, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Gaudreau 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
231 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 22 of them goals. His median goal came from 11 feet. 52% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 16% from beyond forty.
