Ask the book

2026-27 edition Ask a direct question about this edition of the book — who, how many, how common, which group more — and it is answered with a table computed on this page from the edition’s index: the season line, height and age, the on-ice percentiles, the grades and the traits read out of every report. Ask for a view on named players — what a comparison comes down to, what makes a man — and you get the book’s reading of their own pages, and only those. The model turns your question into a query and phrases the result, or reads the pages it is handed; it never originates a figure, and an answer carrying a figure that is on neither the table nor the pages is withheld. It does not forecast, and it says so when a question is outside what the book holds.

Tables are computed on this page from the 2026-27 edition’s index; readings rest on the players’ own pages; the model never counts. Twenty questions an hour.

This Season So Far

The 2026-27 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 appearances, 12-11-1, a 3.13 goals-against average and a .8899 save percentage, no shutouts. His career figure across 102 games is .8965.

The Physical Game

6-1, 190, and a technically orthodox goaltender without a standout tool. He is square, he is quiet, and he does not steal games.

Rebound control is ordinary and the recovery on a second chance is where the goals come from.

The Mental Game

102 NHL appearances across 10 professional seasons is the record of a career third goaltender who has been called up, sent down and claimed more times than he has started a run of games.

12 wins in 25 appearances on this club is respectable.

The Intangibles

3 goaltenders, 112 appearances between them, and save percentages of .8829, .8961 and .8899. Not one of them reached .900.

San Jose conceded 20 goals more than the chances it faced, the fourth-worst mark in the league, and unlike most such numbers it cannot be pinned on 1 man having a bad year.

He is 31, a second-round pick, and the third goaltender on a club that needs a first one.
