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
Twenty-four games at 21, 6 goals and 8 assists with 1 on the power play, 14:40 a night and plus-10. He converted 11.76 per cent of 51 shots.
He took 60.7 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 316 minutes — the 99th percentile, the highest share of anybody on the club — and his ice went 19-11 against an expectation of 17.37-11.24. Three hundred and sixteen minutes is a small sample and a share that high in it is not an accident.
The Finesse Game
He takes 49 per cent of his attempts from inside 20 feet at a median of 21, which for a 165-pound forward means going where 165 pounds is not welcome. Six goals in 24 games.
The hands are quick in traffic and he does not need space to release. Eight assists in 24 games and a junior record of 100-point seasons say the passing is the equal of the shot.
The skating is very good and it has to be. Everything about a player this size depends on arriving before the defenceman has decided to lean.
The Physical Game
He is 5-8 and 165 pounds and he is moved off the puck by anybody who gets a hand on him. Four penalty minutes in 24 games.
He forechecks aggressively and arrives first anyway, and the compete is the reason a man this size took the highest chance share on a hundred-point club. It is also the reason to worry about eighty-two games of it.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick, 47th overall in 2021 out of Kamloops, who was among the leading scorers in junior hockey and was in the top six of a contender at 21.
He is the smallest forward in this book and he took a share nobody else on his club matched. That is either the best young player Dallas has or a sample of twenty-four games, and the next season decides which.
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.
- measuredcomputed here from the season's own data
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
- 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.
- drives-play· the shot clock turns his way while he is out there
60.7% of the expected goals at five-on-five with him on, 54.0% for his club in the minutes he sat: +6.7, 93rd percentile among forwards

“He forechecks aggressively and arrives first anyway, and the compete is the reason a man this size took the highest chance share on a hundred-point club.”
“He is 5-8 and 165 pounds and he is moved off the puck by anybody who gets a hand on him.”

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 37 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 72 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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miro Heiskanen | 58.6% | 62.4% | 57.6% |
| Thomas Harley | 59.8% | 61.3% | 54.4% |
| Ryan Suter | 58.0% | 61.9% | 53.1% |
58.6% together, 62.4% for him apart and 57.6% for Heiskanen apart. He was better away from Heiskanen, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Heiskanen.
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
76 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 6 of them goals. His median goal came from 14 feet. 49% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
