Cam York
Philadelphia Flyers Defense

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
4 goals and 13 assists in 66 games — 17 points at 20:47 a night, minus-8, with 26 penalty minutes. He missed a quarter of the season.
55.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 93rd percentile — the best mark on this roster. His ice went 54-38 against an expectation of 50.38-39.87, which means he beat the chances on both sides and still finished the year in the red on the scoresheet. That gap is the whole club in one line.
The Finesse Game
65 attempts in 66 games at a median of 41 feet — he is not a shooter and 4 goals is the honest number. 13 assists is low for a defenceman playing twenty-one minutes, and the reason is that the club scored 222 goals.
The value is the retrieval and the first pass. He is quick to the puck behind his own net, he escapes the first forechecker rather than absorbing him, and he moves it before the second one arrives.
The Physical Game
6-0 and 194 and light for the position. He defends with his stick and his feet, closes the gap early, and takes the puck rather than the man.
26 penalty minutes in 66 games. He does not clear his crease and he does not win a battle against a heavy forward — when the play gets into the paint he needs the goaltender or a partner.
The Intangibles
Fourteenth overall in 2019 and 235 NHL games in, all of it in Philadelphia across a rebuild that has not finished.
He is 24, he held out into training camp before signing in 2024, and he has quietly been the club’s best five-on-five defenceman for two seasons. The minus-37 across his career is a fact about the goaltending in front of which he has played.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 38 points above where the report does. 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 637 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.
Usual linemates
2024-25 · 1160 minutes at five-on-five
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, 2024-25
- The club
- PHI took 52.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 55.8% — 3.7 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First pair, 1,160 minutes at five-on-five — 81st percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travis Sanheim | 56.5% | 53.4% | 50.5% |
| Travis Konecny | 51.9% | 57.4% | 49.9% |
| Tyson Foerster | 49.9% | 58.3% | 52.6% |
56.5% together, 53.4% for him apart and 50.5% for Sanheim apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.
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
109 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 30 feet. 20% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 50% from beyond forty.
