This Season So Far
The 2025-26 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
28 goals and 34 assists in 81 games for 62 points, minus-13, on 19:33 a night with 10 on the power play and 3 shorthanded.
50.8 per cent at five-on-five, the 61st percentile, with on-ice goals of 46-36 against an expected 45-44. 18.3 per cent shooting on 153 shots is by a distance the highest rate of his career, and 45 per cent of his attempts came from inside 20 feet.
The Finesse Game
The passing has always been the skill and it is intact — he holds pucks below the goal line, waits a beat longer than a defenceman expects, and puts it into space rather than onto a stick.
What changed last season is where he shot from. A median of 24 feet with 45 per cent of his attempts inside 20 is a considerably more direct game than the perimeter one that produced 15 goals two years ago, and 28 goals is the reward. The rate will fall; the locations may not.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 200, and he does not play a physical game. He avoids the wall, does not forecheck heavily, and is separated from possession by a determined defenceman.
34 penalty minutes over 81 games. The durability is genuinely excellent — six consecutive seasons above 75 games.
The Intangibles
A 115-point season in Florida, an enormous contract, and three years in Calgary of being the most criticised player in the league.
Last season was the first that answered any of it, and it is worth being precise about how: he did not suddenly become a scorer, he started shooting from closer. That is a coachable change and a durable one, and 62 points at 32 is a fair return even after the shooting rate corrects.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 2 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 357 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 75 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, 2024-25
- The club
- CGY took 48.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.8% — 2.1 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 1,130 minutes at five-on-five — 79th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nazem Kadri | 51.8% | 49.5% | 46.7% |
| MacKenzie Weegar | 53.3% | 49.0% | 48.7% |
| Martin Pospisil | 51.6% | 50.3% | 45.9% |
51.8% together, 49.5% for him apart and 46.7% for Kadri apart. Kadri was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Kadri than for him.
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
203 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 28 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 45% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 19% from beyond forty.
