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
2 goals and 7 assists in 44 games for 9 points, plus-2, on 17:41 a night.
46.5 per cent at five-on-five, the 23rd percentile, over 731 minutes. 52 shots and 2 goals, mostly from beyond 40 feet.
The Finesse Game
Modest. He can move a puck under moderate pressure and he joins a rush occasionally, and the offensive numbers have never matched the American League production that got him here.
9 points in 44 games at 17 minutes a night is thin, and there is no power-play case.
The Physical Game
6-4 and 207, and he uses the reach more than the weight. He closes a rush well and is adequate in front of his own net without being a presence there.
12 penalty minutes over 44 games is disciplined. The injuries are the real issue — a serious knee problem cost him most of a season and the recovery has taken longer than expected.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, a late arrival from Russia, a Cup in Vegas, and a trade to Calgary in a deal that was mostly about a first-round pick.
The projection is a sixth or seventh defenceman. At 28 with this injury history, there is not a great deal of upside left to find.
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.

- ordinaryraised, and called ordinary
- 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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 6 points of one another. 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.
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 — 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.

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, 2024-25
- The club
- CGY took 48.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 46.5% — 2.2 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 731 minutes at five-on-five — 31st percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| MacKenzie Weegar | 47.9% | 42.3% | 52.9% |
| Nazem Kadri | 46.2% | 46.6% | 49.2% |
| Jonathan Huberdeau | 45.6% | 46.9% | 49.8% |
47.9% together, 42.3% for him apart and 52.9% for Weegar apart. He was the one being carried: the share went with Weegar and did not follow 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
