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
25 games, 1 goal and 1 assist, 36 penalty minutes, 13:46 a night and plus-4. He took 48.2 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 315 minutes, the 39th percentile, and his ice went 13-9 against an expectation of 11.95-12.82.
A goal of finishing above what the chances were worth and four goals of goaltending above them. Thirty-six penalty minutes in 25 games at fourteen minutes a night is the highest rate on this club.
The Finesse Game
43 attempts at a median of 51 feet with 91 per cent of them from beyond forty and not one from inside twenty, 28 of those on goal, converted at 3.4 per cent against a career 2.19 across 183 shots.
Four career goals and 18 assists in 139 games. Ninety-one per cent of his attempts came from beyond forty feet and not one came from inside twenty; there is no offensive part of this game and none has ever been asked for.
The Physical Game
He is 6-7 and 231 and took 36 penalty minutes.
127 career penalty minutes in 139 games. At 6-7 and 231 pounds he clears the crease by existing in it, and he fights when the club needs one; almost a penalty minute a game is what a defenceman that size costs when he is used.
The Intangibles
Eighteenth overall in 2016 by Winnipeg, four seasons, one organisation, and 22 points in 139 games.
A career plus-17 in 139 games. He was a first-round pick by this club, he has never played more than 58 games in a season, and at 6-7 he is the largest man on the roster.
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.
- 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.
“At 6-7 and 231 pounds he clears the crease by existing in it, and he fights when the club needs one; almost a penalty minute a game is what a defenceman that size costs when he is used.”
“Ninety-one per cent of his attempts came from beyond forty feet and not one came from inside twenty; there is no offensive part of this game and none has ever been asked for.”

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 — 69 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 90.2
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 · 315 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
- WPG took 52.0% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.2% — 3.8 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 315 minutes at five-on-five — 7th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dylan Samberg | 43.2% | 52.5% | 53.9% |
| Nate Schmidt | 58.1% | 43.7% | 53.2% |
| Nikolaj Ehlers | 44.2% | 50.0% | 57.2% |
43.2% together, 52.5% for him apart and 53.9% for Samberg apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
43 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 59 feet. 0% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 91% from beyond forty.
