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
2 goals and 4 points in 38 games with a minus-18 — by a distance the worst mark on the roster and one of the worst in the league among players with that little ice time — on under 14 minutes a night.
The Finesse Game
Almost none. 12 goals in 345 career games, and a first pass that is safe when it works and hurried when it does not. He does not carry the puck out and does not join the rush.
26 shots in 38 games is a negligible offensive contribution.
The Physical Game
6-4 and 207, and the size is what has kept him employed. He is willing in front of his own net and along the wall without being punishing, and he blocks shots.
The skating is the problem. He is a step behind against quick forwards and cannot recover once beaten, which is what a minus-18 in a third-pairing role looks like.
The Intangibles
The seventh pick in 2014, which has followed him through 5 organisations and a career that has never taken hold anywhere. That is a hard thing to carry.
At 30, the honest read is that he is organisational depth who dresses when injuries demand it. The number from last season makes even that difficult.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe report ranks him 22 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 — 67 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.

Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2025-26
- The club
- WPG took 47.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 37.7% — 9.6 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 464 minutes at five-on-five — 15th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Toews | 37.1% | 38.0% | 46.0% |
| Mark Scheifele | 42.6% | 35.2% | 50.3% |
| Kyle Connor | 38.6% | 37.3% | 50.7% |
37.1% together, 38.0% for him apart and 46.0% for Toews apart. Toews was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more 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
44 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 29 feet. 16% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 66% from beyond forty.
