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
Fifty-five games, 5 goals and 12 assists, 13:33 a night, and plus-5. He took 40.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 677 minutes, the 4th percentile, and his ice went 16-39 against an expectation of 18.45-27.55.
A plus-5 sitting on top of a share in the 4th percentile is the most contradictory pair of numbers on the roster, and the on-ice ledger of 16-39 says which of them to believe.
The Finesse Game
Fifty-seven shots in 55 games at a median of 30 feet, converted at 8.77 per cent. He is not a scorer and 19 goals in 151 career games says so plainly.
Twelve assists in 55 games is a reasonable rate for a fourth-line winger and the puck moves quickly off his stick. Nothing about the offensive game will decide his career.
The Physical Game
He is 6-0 and 207 and finishes his checks without taking penalties for it — 8 penalty minutes in 55 games and 18 in 151 across his career, which is a very low rate for a man who plays this way.
He forechecks hard and gets to the front of the net, and at that weight he holds a wall better than the height suggests.
The Intangibles
A third-round pick in 2016 out of Minnesota, captain of a world junior side, and now on his third organisation at 26. One hundred and fifty-one games across six seasons is the career of a man who keeps being the thirteenth forward.
On a club this thin he played 55 games. On a good one he plays five.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 12 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 201 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 56 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.

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
- CHI took 41.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 40.1% — 1.8 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 677 minutes at five-on-five — 30th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jason Dickinson | 41.8% | 34.2% | 42.6% |
| Alex Vlasic | 44.3% | 36.5% | 44.3% |
| Colin Blackwell | 41.6% | 38.8% | 42.8% |
41.8% together, 34.2% for him apart and 42.6% for Dickinson apart. He was worse away from Dickinson, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Dickinson did.
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
80 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 12 feet. 34% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 29% from beyond forty.
