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
4 goals and 11 assists in 79 games for 15 points, minus-12, on 13:33 a night with Anaheim.
60 shots in 79 games is very low volume and 15 points is a career-typical total. He has cleared 20 points once in seven seasons.
The Finesse Game
Almost none. The hands are functional at NHL pace and nothing more, and the shot is not a threat from any distance.
What there is: a reliable centre who wins pucks back, supports the play, and does not lose it in dangerous places. That is a real skill and it is the whole of his value.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 192, and willing without being heavy. He is honest on the forecheck and does not win many battles against defencemen.
10 penalty minutes over 79 games is exceptional discipline and is the single most useful line in his record for a club that finished 25th on the kill.
The Intangibles
A first-round pick who has become a fourth-line centre, and has accepted it without visible complaint over seven seasons.
The projection is a fourth-line centre who kills penalties and takes defensive draws. Columbus needed a defensively reliable fourth-line centre and bought one cheaply.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 19 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 357 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.
Usual linemates

- Brett Leasonnow WSH43%
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
- ANA took 44.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 42.7% — 1.9 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 824 minutes at five-on-five — 38th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brett Leason | 42.0% | 43.3% | 39.3% |
| Jansen Harkins | 42.3% | 43.0% | 43.3% |
| Radko Gudas | 44.1% | 42.2% | 46.6% |
42.0% together, 43.3% for him apart and 39.3% for Leason apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
87 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 21 feet. 45% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 16% from beyond forty.
