Last Season

Nine goals and six assists in 59 games — 15 points, minus-two, at 10:39 a night. His five-on-five work was done in Vegas. Eight points in his last ten, six of them goals.

The Finesse Game

More scoring than the role implies. Seventy-six unblocked attempts, nine goals, median 26 feet with 38 per cent inside twenty — a strong conversion for a fourth-liner getting ten minutes.

Six assists in 59 games is the whole of the playmaking. Seventeen points in 77 career games.

The Physical Game

Six foot one, 207, and he forechecks hard. Twenty-one penalty minutes.

The speed is honest rather than exceptional, and at this level that is usually the difference between a fourth line and the American League.

The Intangibles

The numbers underneath are alarming: 42.2 per cent of the expected goals, fourth percentile, and 43.8 per cent of the shot attempts, sixth, across 616 minutes on a good team. The chances ran 19.3 to 26.4 against.

So: nine goals and a run of six in ten, sitting on top of one of the worst on-ice rates in the league.

Both are real and the sample sizes point in opposite directions. Six hundred minutes of possession is a firmer number than nine goals. He is 26, a hundred and eighty-first overall pick, and this is a thirteenth-forward job.
