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
25 games, 1 goal and 9 assists for 10 points, 18 penalty minutes, 16:01 a night and plus-9. He took 59.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 360 minutes — the 98th percentile and the highest chance share of anybody on this roster — and his ice went 20-13 against an expectation of 18.92-12.65.
A goal of finishing above what the chances were worth and level at the other end. Fifty-nine point nine per cent from a third-pairing defenceman in 25 games is the most interesting number on this blue line.
The Finesse Game
38 attempts at a median of 52 feet with 74 per cent of them from beyond forty and 5 per cent from inside twenty, 25 of those on goal, converted at 4.0 per cent against a career 3.70 across 81 shots.
Twenty-eight career assists against 3 goals in 91 games. He moves the puck well and sees the ice better than a seventh defenceman needs to; nine assists in 25 games at sixteen minutes a night is a rate that would be worth more ice if he could stay in the lineup.
The Physical Game
He is 6-3 and 213 and took 18 penalty minutes.
Thirty-four career penalty minutes in 91 games. He is a large defenceman who does not play especially large; the defending is positional and there is more physical game available than he has used.
The Intangibles
Thirty-second overall in 2017 by Colorado, five seasons, and Toronto is his third organisation.
A career plus-10 in 91 games across five seasons. He has never played more than 31 games in a season, which at 26 is the whole of the story.
What kind of player
The searchable half of the report. The first group is computed from the season's own data; the rest are read out of the prose above, and each one carries the sentence that produced it. A subject the report never raised is simply absent.

- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
Each computed tag also says how well its measure holds up from one season to the next, because a tag describes a season that has finished and a reader will assume it predicts the one coming. Some do and some do not, and the gap is wide: five-on-five workload repeats well, scoring late does not repeat at all.
- drives-play· the shot clock turns his way while he is out there
59.9% of the expected goals at five-on-five with him on, 51.3% for his club in the minutes he sat: +8.6, 99th percentile among defencemen

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 47 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 70 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.

A top speed is a season's best, and a man who takes more shifts gets more tries at one; the percentile is the feed's own, against every skater, and says less between a top-pair defenceman and a fourth-line wing than it does between two men in the same job. The counts are shown per game for the same reason.

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 59.9% — 7.8 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- 360 minutes at five-on-five — 10th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simon Benoit | 53.9% | 63.0% | 52.6% |
| Max Domi | 60.6% | 59.7% | 49.4% |
| William Nylander | 61.0% | 59.6% | 51.7% |
53.9% together, 63.0% for him apart and 52.6% for Benoit apart. He was better away from Benoit, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Benoit.
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
38 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 64 feet. 5% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 74% from beyond forty.
