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
24 games, 1 goal and no assists, 6 penalty minutes, 10:27 a night and even. He took 52.0 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 238 minutes, the 68th percentile, and his ice went 10-12 against an expectation of 10.12-9.33.
Twenty-four games at ten and a half minutes is the seventh-defenceman assignment and he came out of it even. There is not enough here to draw a conclusion from.
The Finesse Game
11 shots at a median of 59 feet, 82 per cent of them from beyond 40.
Two career assists in 45 games. He is a defensive defenceman with no puck-moving to describe. He puts it off the glass and changes.
The Physical Game
He is 6-3 and 205 and defends with position rather than force.
6 penalty minutes in 24 games is a very low rate. He blocks shots and holds the front of his net, and he does not chase men into corners.
The Intangibles
A fourth-round pick in 2016 out of Ostersund, three seasons, and 3 points in 45 games at 26.
He has been in the organisation for eight years and has 45 games. That is the whole of the projection.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 60 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 379 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 55 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

- Matt Roynow WSH38%
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, 2023-24
- The club
- LAK took 54.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.0% — 2.1 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 238 minutes at five-on-five — 3rd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drew Doughty | 43.2% | 58.4% | 55.9% |
| Matt Roy | 61.7% | 44.3% | 54.8% |
| Alex Laferriere | 52.4% | 51.9% | 50.8% |
43.2% together, 58.4% for him apart and 55.9% for Doughty apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
17 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 42 feet. 0% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 82% from beyond forty.
