This Season So Far
The 2024-25 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
All 82 games, 7 goals and 10 assists for 17 points, 1 shorthanded, 132 penalty minutes, 12:29 a night and minus-7, with 1 game-winner. He took 55.6 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 890 minutes, the 90th percentile and the second-best chance share on the club, and his ice went 27-36 against an expectation of 33.92-27.05.
Seven goals of finishing below what the chances were worth and nine more conceded than they called for. A 90th percentile chance share on twelve and a half minutes a night that came out minus-9 in goals.
The Finesse Game
146 attempts at a median of 20 feet with 51 per cent of them from inside twenty — the closest shot chart on the roster — 103 of those on goal, converted at 6.8 per cent against a career 10.24 across 635 shots.
74 career assists in 539 games. Everything he takes comes from within twenty feet because he does not get pucks anywhere else; the hands are heavy and 65 goals in nine seasons is the honest statement of them.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 212 and took 132 penalty minutes.
622 career penalty minutes in 539 games. He forechecks by hitting the first man and then the second, finishes checks late, fights when it is asked for and has spent nine seasons being the most unpleasant forward on whichever fourth line he is on. No career power-play goal in 539 games.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, nine seasons, four organisations, 139 points in 539 games and a career plus-46.
A career plus-46 from an undrafted fourth-line winger across nine seasons is one of the more surprising numbers in this edition. Four career shorthanded goals and one of them last season, on the fourth-best kill in the league.
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 numbers rank him 47 points above where the report does. 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 68 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 84.5
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Poehling | 60.7% | 48.2% | 49.3% |
| Travis Sanheim | 56.9% | 54.7% | 51.6% |
| Cam York | 59.2% | 53.3% | 50.6% |
60.7% together, 48.2% for him apart and 49.3% for Poehling apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.
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
146 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 7 of them goals. His median goal came from 7 feet. 51% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 19% from beyond forty.
