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
5 goals and 28 assists in 61 games — 33 points at 23:54 a night, even on the year, with 40 penalty minutes on 83 shots. He missed a quarter of the season.
52.5 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 75th percentile. His ice went 32-45 against an expectation of 42.12-38.14 — ten goals of scoring missing and seven conceded above expectation, which is the goaltending and the finishing at once.
The Finesse Game
83 attempts at a median of 54 feet with 73 per cent from beyond 40, and 5 goals. The shot is a point shot.
28 assists in 61 games is a strong rate and it comes from the first pass. He retrieves under pressure, he escapes the first forechecker, and he moves the puck early — which is the specific reason he can play beside Quinn Hughes without both of them going the same way.
The Physical Game
6-0 and 190 and he is not a heavy defenceman. He does not clear his crease by force and he does not finish many checks.
40 penalty minutes in 61 games at nearly twenty-four minutes a night is a moderate rate and a share of it is the stick foul that follows losing a step. He defends with his skating and his stick.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick of Detroit in 2016 and 451 games and 238 points, with a career minus-55 collected on rebuilding clubs.
He is 27 and signed through 2032. Vancouver acquired him in 2023 for a first-round pick and a second, and he has been the right-shot partner the club had been looking for since 2019.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 4 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 — 76 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
- VAN took 49.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.5% — 3.4 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First pair, 1,088 minutes at five-on-five — 74th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quinn Hughes | 54.4% | 50.3% | 52.7% |
| Jake DeBrusk | 54.4% | 51.6% | 44.2% |
| Brock Boeser | 54.5% | 51.6% | 45.7% |
54.4% together, 50.3% for him apart and 52.7% for Hughes apart. He was worse away from Hughes, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Hughes did.
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
151 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 54 feet. 6% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 73% from beyond forty.
