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.
46.7 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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 5 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 357 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, 2024-25
- The club
- CGY took 48.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 46.7% — 2.0 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 | 46.7% | 46.7% | 52.6% |
| Nazem Kadri | 48.2% | 46.1% | 49.6% |
| Jonathan Huberdeau | 50.4% | 45.2% | 50.9% |
46.7% together, 46.7% for him apart and 52.6% for Weegar apart. Weegar 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
75 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 29 feet. 9% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 68% from beyond forty.
