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
1 goal and 13 assists in seventy games at 20:34 a night, minus-5, forty-two penalty minutes. Fifty-seventh overall in 2015, four seasons, 175 games, 27 points, at 25.
The Finesse Game
There is almost none. 0.61 even-strength points per 60 is the 15th percentile, 3.84 shots per 60 the 37th, and 1.1 per cent shooting the 5th. Ninety-two shots, one goal. Five per cent from the slot is the 7th percentile — he shoots from the point and rarely.
53.2 per cent of the expected goals is the 77th percentile — the best defence figure on the club — against 51.7 per cent of the attempts at the 69th, with 42.2 per cent of his end-zone starts in the attacking end, the hardest of any New Jersey defenceman.
His ice went 55-61 against an expectation of 52.80-46.48: fifteen goals against above the model, the largest gap of any New Jersey defenceman, on the club that rated 32nd in goaltending at minus-43.3.
Beside Jack Hughes across 486 attempts the pair took 55.8 per cent — Hughes read 50.7 without him.
The Physical Game
4.09 hits per 60 is the 50th percentile and 4.42 blocks the 59th at 6-2 and 218. Both entirely ordinary.
0.79 penalties drawn per 60 is the 92nd percentile among defencemen and his net is the 84th, from a man who does not hit at any notable rate. That combination — high penalties drawn without contact — usually means a defenceman who is being chased rather than one who is chasing.
The Intangibles
22.2 mph is the 64th percentile, 0.8 bursts over 20 mph per 60 the 22nd, and 8.30 miles per 60 the 33rd. Ordinary speed, low mobility.
He is 25 with 27 points in 175 games. The best chance share on a defence corps is worth something and the shooting record says exactly how narrow the player is. A shutdown defenceman with no offence and a good share is useful; on a club whose goaltending gave back fifteen goals off his ice alone, it is also invisible.
What kind of player
The searchable half of the report. The first group is computed from the season's own data; the rest are read out of the prose above, and each one carries the sentence that produced it. A subject the report never raised is simply absent.
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
Each computed tag also says how well its measure holds up from one season to the next, because a tag describes a season that has finished and a reader will assume it predicts the one coming. Some do and some do not, and the gap is wide: five-on-five workload repeats well, scoring late does not repeat at all.
“0.79 penalties drawn per 60 is the 92nd percentile among defencemen and his net is the 84th, from a man who does not hit at any notable rate.”

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 60 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 — 53 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 90.4
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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damon Severson | 54.9% | 51.4% | 49.7% |
| Dawson Mercer | 50.1% | 54.4% | 49.9% |
| Jesper Bratt | 63.4% | 49.1% | 54.2% |
54.9% together, 51.4% for him apart and 49.7% for Severson 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
118 unblocked shots in 2021-22, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 45 feet. 3% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 78% from beyond forty.
