Ask the book

2026-27 edition Ask a direct question about this edition of the book — who, how many, how common, which group more — and it is answered with a table computed on this page from the edition’s index: the season line, height and age, the on-ice percentiles, the grades and the traits read out of every report. Ask for a view on named players — what a comparison comes down to, what makes a man — and you get the book’s reading of their own pages, and only those. The model turns your question into a query and phrases the result, or reads the pages it is handed; it never originates a figure, and an answer carrying a figure that is on neither the table nor the pages is withheld. It does not forecast, and it says so when a question is outside what the book holds.

Tables are computed on this page from the 2026-27 edition’s index; readings rest on the players’ own pages; the model never counts. Twenty questions an hour.

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

25 appearances, 11-10-2, a 3.29 goals-against average and a .8836 save percentage, no shutouts. His career figure across 105 games is .8885.

Over his last 10 appearances, .867 on 293 shots.

The Physical Game

6-5, 220, and he covers a lot of net without moving especially well. He is beaten laterally and the rebound control is the weakest part of the game.

At his size the technique should carry him further than it does.

The Mental Game

11 wins in 25 appearances behind a club that gave up the second-fewest expected goals in the league is not a flattering line.

The Intangibles

Here is the number that matters. Tampa’s goaltending finished level with the chances it faced — no better, no worse — on a team that allowed only 151.4 expected goals against, second only to Ottawa.

Vasilevskiy stopped .9110 in 58 appearances. Johansson stopped .8836 in 25, and Hildeby, the man arriving to replace him, stopped .9124 in 20 behind a far worse defence.

He is 30, a third-round pick, and on the evidence of those 3 lines he is the third goaltender on this roster.
