Last Season

Four goals and 14 assists in 80 games — 18 points, minus-nine, at 14:29 a night with 24 penalty minutes.

His 368th career game.

The Finesse Game

A hundred and twelve unblocked attempts, four goals, median 27 feet with 31 per cent from inside twenty. Ninety points in 368 career games.

Fourteen assists in a full season is the honest rate of a fourth-line centre and there is no evidence of more.

The Physical Game

Six foot three and 213 pounds, and he uses it properly — faceoffs, penalty kill, forechecking weight. Twenty-four penalty minutes is disciplined.

The skating is heavy and it is the ceiling on the role.

The Intangibles

Forty-six per cent of the expected goals, 18th percentile, and 47.6 per cent of the shot attempts, 31st — the worst figures of any Utah regular — across 894 minutes, with the chances 30.1 for and 35.4 against.

On a club where nine skaters cleared the seventieth percentile, being the one below the twentieth is conspicuous.

The goals came out 53-41 in his favour regardless, which is a special-teams and goaltending artefact.

Four points in his last ten, none of them goals. He is 29, won a Stanley Cup in Florida, and is exactly the sort of fourth-line centre a contender carries. Utah is not one yet.

The numbers are colder on him than this report is — worth asking who he played with, and against whom.
