This Season So Far
The 2022-23 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
77 games, 7 goals and 7 assists at 8:24 a night, plus-1, twenty-two penalty minutes, 44 shots, one short-handed goal and one game-winner. Hundred-and-twenty-sixth overall in 2012 by Toronto — the fifth round — five seasons, 164 games, 29 points.
The Finesse Game
Eight minutes and twenty-four seconds a night is the smallest workload of all 393 forwards who played forty games. Nobody in the league who dressed for a season played less.
4.08 shots per 60 is the 10th-fewest of the same 393, and seven goals from forty-four shots is 15.9 per cent, the 87th percentile — the lowest volume in the league converting well above the median, which across forty-four shots is not a finding.
Sixty-two per cent of his attempts came from inside twenty feet at a 20-foot median.
1.02 even-strength points per 60 is the 30th-lowest of the 393.
42.7 per cent of the expected goals is the 24th-lowest of the 393 and 42.8 per cent of the attempts the 3rd percentile. Only two qualified forwards in the league took a smaller share of the attempts on their ice.
His ice went 14-17 against an expectation of 14.6-19.61 — level in front and two and a half fewer against, across thirty-one goals, which is not a sample.
The Physical Game
2.97 blocks per 60 is the 92nd percentile among forwards, off an eight-and-a-half-minute shift, with 1:28 a night short-handed.
8.54 hits per 60 is the 84th percentile at 6-2 and 201 pounds, and twenty-two penalty minutes came out of seventy-seven games.
0.46 penalties drawn per 60 against 1.02 taken is a net of minus 0.56, the 5th percentile among forwards — the worst differential of any forward in this chapter.
The Intangibles
His shot is 82.1 mph, the 18th-softest of the 365 tracked forwards.
9.95 miles per 60 is the 77th percentile against a 22.7 mph top speed at the 66th and 5.3 bursts per 60 at the 53rd — he works, at the shortest shift in the league.
He is 28, a fifth-round pick, with twenty-nine points in 164 games. The blocks, the hits and the kill are a thirteenth forward’s virtues and he has all three. The 3rd-lowest attempt share in the league and the softest end of the shot chart are why the shift is eight minutes, and there is nothing in the file to suggest it gets longer.
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.
- measuredcomputed here from the season's own data
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
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 report ranks him 39 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 649 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 60 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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jansen Harkins | 35.7% | 48.8% | 49.3% |
| Kristian Vesalainen | 42.7% | 42.7% | 50.3% |
| Brenden Dillon | 38.3% | 44.9% | 49.7% |
35.7% together, 48.8% for him apart and 49.3% for Harkins apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
60 unblocked shots in 2021-22, 7 of them goals. His median goal came from 19 feet. 50% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 13% from beyond forty.
