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
7 goals and 12 assists in 49 games across Calgary and Philadelphia — 19 points at 11:33 a night, plus-7, with a game-winner and 10 penalty minutes.
Nineteen points at under twelve minutes a night is a respectable rate and the season was split by a trade. He has 86 career NHL games in four seasons.
The Finesse Game
54 attempts and 7 goals at 13.0 per cent. The shot is ordinary.
The passing and the puck handling in a small space are why he was a first-round pick, and 12 assists in 49 games is the sort of number that suggests there is more here than the ice time allows.
The Physical Game
5-10 and 172 and among the lightest forwards in this chapter. He does not win pucks against defencemen and he is not going to.
10 penalty minutes in 49 games. He competes hard for the size, he goes to the areas that hurt, and there is no second answer when he is out-muscled there.
The Intangibles
Twenty-sixth overall in 2019, and he lost most of the 2023-24 season to a shoulder injury that required surgery at the point his career was about to start.
86 games and 29 points across three organisations. He is 24 and Tampa Bay signed him in the summer, which is a club with a very good record of finding this exact player.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 20 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 70 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.

- PHI took 52.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.3% — 1.8 below the club he did it on.

- 486 minutes at five-on-five — 15th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yegor Sharangovich | 53.5% | 48.9% | 47.2% |
| Ryan Poehling | 58.2% | 47.1% | 50.9% |
| Brayden Pachal | 44.9% | 52.0% | 47.2% |
53.5% together, 48.9% for him apart and 47.2% for Sharangovich 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
70 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 7 of them goals. His median goal came from 10 feet. 44% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 24% from beyond forty.
