This Season So Far
The 2022-23 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
30 games, 2 goals and 4 assists at 10:01 a night, even, four penalty minutes, 30 shots. Sixty-fifth overall in 2017 by Vegas — the third round — one season, 30 games, 6 points.
Two hundred and eighty-eight minutes of five-on-five ice is well short of the five hundred this book requires, so what follows is described rather than ranked.
The Finesse Game
Two goals from thirty shots is 6.7 per cent, from a 25-foot median with fifty-five per cent of his attempts from inside twenty feet.
1.26 even-strength points per 60 off 5.99 shots per 60, which for a fourth-line winger playing ten minutes is a reasonable rate of pucks.
50.5 per cent of the expected goals across 288 five-on-five minutes against 45.2 per cent of the attempts — a five-point gap between the two, which says his shifts gave up volume and did not give up much quality.
He started 52.9 per cent of his end-zone shifts in the attacking end — eighty-two against seventy-three — a soft chair on a small sample.
His ice went 10-10 against an expectation of 10.32-10.13. Exactly level at both ends, which across twenty goals is not a finding.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 206 pounds, and four penalty minutes in thirty games.
2.60 hits per 60 and 2.20 blocks, both low, against 0.60 penalties drawn per 60 and 0.40 taken.
A 206-pound winger who does not hit is an unusual bottom-six profile and there is not enough here to say whether it is a style or a first season.
The Intangibles
10.09 miles per 60 is a lot of ground for ten minutes a night, and 4.99 bursts over twenty miles an hour per 60 against a 21.2 mph top speed drawn from thirty games.
His shot is 80.3 mph. The softest shot among all 365 qualified forwards is 77.4, so on thirty games he releases the puck softer than all but seven men in that pool.
He is 23, a third-round pick of this club, born in Horsholm and one of five Danes in this edition. The mileage and the even ledger are the encouraging half. A soft shot, no hits and six points in thirty games is the other half, and 288 minutes will not settle which one he is.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 26 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 649 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 57 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.

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.

Five-on-five, 2021-22
- The club
- VGK took 52.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.5% — 2.2 below the club he did it on.
- The role

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jake Leschyshyn | 42.4% | 57.8% | 39.6% |
| Brett Howden | 48.0% | 52.3% | 53.7% |
| Shea Theodore | 48.4% | 51.6% | 52.9% |
42.4% together, 57.8% for him apart and 39.6% for Leschyshyn apart. He was better away from Leschyshyn, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Leschyshyn.
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
42 unblocked shots in 2021-22, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 26 feet. 40% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 12% from beyond forty.
