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 3 assists in 61 games — 5 points, minus-12, at 12:05 a night with 19 penalty minutes. His 5-on-5 work was done in Montreal.
The Finesse Game
Almost nothing. 79 unblocked attempts, 2 goals, median 23 feet with 41 per cent from inside 20 — the ice is right and 5 points in 61 games is the return.
86 points in 367 career games from a 30th overall pick. The skating was always the case for him and the hands never arrived.
The Physical Game
6-1, 201, and he plays a straightforward checking game. 19 penalty minutes.
The speed is genuine and it is why 4 organisations have given him a look.
The Intangibles
48.1 per cent of the expected goals, 38th percentile, in 636 minutes — a respectable number, and one of the odder pages in this book: a forward who was on the ice for a fair share of the chances and scored 5 points.
The goals went 15-29 against him, which is what the scoresheet would lead you to guess.
He is 26, on his fourth organisation, and the runway a first-round pick gets has run out. The fourth-line job is his to lose and there is nothing here suggesting he wins it.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe numbers rank him 32 points above where the report does. 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 — 62 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 83.6
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.

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, 2025-26
- The club
- MTL took 49.8% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.1% — 1.7 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 636 minutes at five-on-five — 26th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brendan Gallagher | 49.7% | 46.9% | 50.2% |
| Lane Hutson | 49.9% | 47.3% | 56.0% |
| Noah Dobson | 44.6% | 49.8% | 47.8% |
49.7% together, 46.9% for him apart and 50.2% for Gallagher 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
79 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 27 feet. 42% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 20% from beyond forty.
