This Season So Far
The 2023-24 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
36 games, 21-9-4, .888 — the sixth-worst save percentage in the league among goaltenders who played 25 games — with a 3.41 average and one shutout on 1,027 shots.
The 21 wins are the misleading number. He played behind the highest-scoring club in the National Hockey League and conceded 3.41 a game.
The year before, in Toronto, he posted .9140 across 49 games. The two before that, .9214 and .9041.
Eight seasons, 171 games.
The Finesse Game
6-3 and 200. The technique has always been athletic rather than structural — he is quick across the crease and relies on it, and when the reads are late the recoveries have to be spectacular.
The rebound is where the season came apart. He does not consistently control the first save, and Edmonton finished 24th in expected goals against on the penalty kill, which is precisely the situation in which a second chance becomes a goal.
He is an ordinary puck-handler on a club whose defencemen are not asked to retrieve much.
The Intangibles
11th overall in 2010 to Dallas — very high for a goaltender — and a decade of being a prospect before 22 good games in Toronto at 29 turned into a five-year contract in Edmonton at 30.
He is 31 with 171 NHL games, three of his eight seasons under .905, and four years left.
Edmonton scored the most goals in the league, generated the fifth-most chances and did not reach a Conference Final. The crease is the most obvious place to look, and this contract is why nobody could do much about it.
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.

- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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.
“He does not consistently control the first save, and Edmonton finished 24th in expected goals against on the penalty kill, which is precisely the situation in which a second chance becomes a goal.”
