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
No goals and 9 assists in 64 games — 9 points at 13:45 a night, plus-5, with 20 penalty minutes.
47.5 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 27th percentile, across 797 minutes. His ice went 43-39 against an expectation of 28.91-31.88 — fourteen goals better than expected for and seven worse against, on a third pairing, which on that sample is mostly the goaltending and the finishing.
The Finesse Game
58 shot attempts and no goals at a median of 54 feet with 76 per cent from beyond 40. There is no shot and the record says so plainly: 10 goals in 255 NHL games.
9 assists. The first pass is quick and simple and that is the whole puck game. He does not carry it and he does not attempt anything that becomes a rush the other way.
The Physical Game
6-0 and 193 and light. He defends positionally, he blocks shots, and he does not clear the front of his own net.
20 penalty minutes in 64 games. He is disciplined and he is not physical; the game is played with the stick.
The Intangibles
A third-round pick of Anaheim in 2016 and 255 games across three organisations, never as more than a third-pairing defenceman.
He is 27. On a club that dressed seven defencemen most nights, he played 64 games, which is the honest measure of what a seventh defenceman is worth.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 23 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 61 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
- SEA took 47.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 47.5% — 0.3 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third pair, 797 minutes at five-on-five — 36th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eeli Tolvanen | 44.5% | 48.7% | 46.2% |
| Ryker Evans | 46.3% | 48.0% | 46.5% |
| Jared McCann | 49.8% | 46.7% | 46.5% |
44.5% together, 48.7% for him apart and 46.2% for Tolvanen apart. He was better away from Tolvanen, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Tolvanen.
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
87 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 0 of them goals. 5% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 76% from beyond forty.
