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
30 games with Florida, no goals and 9 assists, 20 penalty minutes, 12:36 a night and minus-2. He took 47.4 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 357 minutes, the 34th percentile, and his ice went 13-14 against an expectation of 11.83-13.15.
A goal of finishing above what the chances were worth and one below at the other end. Twenty-five shots without a goal is the sort of season a seventh defenceman has.
The Finesse Game
33 attempts at a median of 44 feet with 61 per cent of them from beyond forty and 9 per cent from inside twenty, 25 of those on goal, none of which went in.
Thirty-five career assists against 10 goals in 191 games. He moves the puck cleanly and quickly out of his own end and that is most of the case for him; there are no power-play goals in 191 games and there is no reason to expect any.
The Physical Game
He is 6-0 and 193 and took 20 penalty minutes.
Ninety career penalty minutes in 191 games. He is an average-sized defenceman without much physical presence, and at twelve and a half minutes a night nobody is asking him to provide one.
The Intangibles
Eighty-fifth overall in 2016 by Anaheim, six seasons, three organisations, and 45 points in 191 games.
A career minus-2 across six seasons of seventh-defenceman work. He is 26 and has played more than 40 games in a season once.
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.

- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 7 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 64 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.
Usual linemates
2023-24 with FLA · 357 minutes at five-on-five
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
- FLA took 53.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 47.4% — 6.3 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 357 minutes at five-on-five — 10th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uvis Balinskis | 46.5% | 48.0% | 49.2% |
| Eetu Luostarinen | 50.5% | 46.0% | 54.4% |
| Anton Lundell | 48.3% | 47.1% | 53.4% |
46.5% together, 48.0% for him apart and 49.2% for Balinskis apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
33 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 0 of them goals. 9% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 61% from beyond forty.
