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
8 goals and 41 assists in all 82 games — 49 points, minus-23, at 25:00 a night, and 1,617 minutes at 5-on-5 — the fifth-heaviest workload of any defenceman in the league — with 4 power-play goals.
His 533rd career game and his 287th point.
The Finesse Game
A genuine puck-mover. 198 unblocked attempts from a median of 51 feet, 75 per cent from beyond 40, 8 goals.
41 assists is a top-15 figure among defencemen and it was produced on a club that scored the fewest goals in the league at 5-on-5. That is the single most impressive line in Vancouver’s section.
The Physical Game
6 foot even and 190 pounds, and light for 25 minutes a night. 33 penalty minutes.
He cannot clear a crease and loses net-front battles as a matter of physics. The skating covers a great deal and at this workload it cannot cover all of it.
The Intangibles
45 per cent of the expected goals, 14th percentile, against 49.5 per cent of the shot attempts, 52nd, across 1,617 minutes — with the chances 62.9 for and 76.7 against and the goals 55 for and 69 against.
A 14 goal margin against is almost exactly what those chances predicted — his ice conceded 13.9 more expected goals than it created — so none of it is finishing or goaltending. The 5-point gap between his attempt share and his chance share says the shots he conceded were the dangerous kind.
8 points in his last 10, none of them goals. He is 28, and he is being asked to play a number-one defenceman’s minutes on the worst defensive club in the league. Nobody comes out of that with a good number.
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
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
SightedThe report ranks him 40 points above where the numbers do. It was written with these numbers on screen and departs from them anyway, which makes the gap a judgment rather than an oversight. 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 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 73 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.

- VAN took 43.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 45.0% — 1.5 above the club he did it on.

- First pair, 1,617 minutes at five-on-five — 99th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elias Pettersson | 46.3% | 44.5% | 40.8% |
| Evander Kane | 47.6% | 44.1% | 41.0% |
| Jake DeBrusk | 47.5% | 44.2% | 42.7% |
46.3% together, 44.5% for him apart and 40.8% for Pettersson apart. Pettersson was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Pettersson 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
198 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 8 of them goals. His median goal came from 32 feet. 7% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 75% from beyond forty.
