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
41 games with Nashville, 6 goals and 7 assists for 13 points, none on the power play, 20 penalty minutes, 13:26 a night and minus-9, with 1 game-winner. He took 42.4 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 443 minutes, the 9th percentile, and his ice went 14-23 against an expectation of 16.68-22.65.
Three goals of finishing below what the chances were worth, and the chances were poor to begin with. Forty-two per cent of the chances over 443 minutes is the third-lowest figure on the club, and his ice was outscored 14-23 inside them.
The Finesse Game
105 attempts at a median of 21 feet with 50 per cent of them from inside twenty, 81 of those on goal, converted at 7.3 per cent against a career 9.63 across 301 shots.
Eleven of his 29 career goals have come on the power play. He takes half his attempts from inside twenty feet and still shoots below ten per cent, which is the whole problem: he gets to the right places and does not finish from them.
The Physical Game
He is 6-3 and 201 and took 20 penalty minutes.
Fifty-four career penalty minutes in 187 games. He is a large centre who does not play large — he protects a puck well enough on the cycle but does not initiate contact, and the frame has never turned into a net-front game.
The Intangibles
Sixth overall in 2017 by Vegas, five seasons, three organisations, and 71 points in 187 games.
One hundred and eighty-seven games in five seasons from a top-ten pick. He is 25 and on his third club, and the 35-point season in Nashville two years ago is still the best case anybody can make for him.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 34 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 518 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 66 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
- NSH took 52.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 42.4% — 10.1 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 443 minutes at five-on-five — 15th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roman Josi | 43.8% | 41.5% | 55.7% |
| Colton Sissons | 38.8% | 44.0% | 51.8% |
| Ryan McDonagh | 40.3% | 43.5% | 57.3% |
43.8% together, 41.5% for him apart and 55.7% for Josi apart. Josi was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for 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
105 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 15 feet. 50% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 22% from beyond forty.
