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, no goals and 3 assists, 15:41 a night and minus-16. He took 34.7 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 352 minutes, the lowest share of any player in this edition with three hundred minutes, and his ice went 9-19 against an expectation of 9.84-18.54.

The goals and the chances agree to within a goal in both directions, which is the honest and unpleasant reading: nothing went wrong, this is simply what the shifts were.

The Finesse Game

Eighteen shots, none of them goals, at a median of 59 feet with nothing at all from inside 20. There is no offensive game and there is not going to be one.

Three assists in 24 games. The puck is moved to the nearest available option and the club has never asked for more than that.

The Physical Game

He is 6-8 and 228 — one of two men at that height in this edition — and the reach is the entire professional case for him. Held out early it takes away a passing lane no other defenceman here can reach.

Four penalty minutes in 24 games is a very low rate. He does not punish people and does not need to; at that size a shoulder in the right place is enough. The skating is the limitation and it is a real one — a quick forward turns him and there is nothing to be done about it.

The Intangibles

A seventh-round pick, 188th overall in 2020, from Quebec City, who has made the National Hockey League. That is a genuine achievement and it does not depend on what the chance share says.

He is a seventh defenceman. On a club this thin he played 24 games, and on a good one he would play four.

The eye and the numbers

The two rank him within 0 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 201 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 45 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.

Usual linemates

2023-24 · 352 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
CHI took 41.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 34.7% — 7.2 below the club he did it on.
The role
Third pair, 352 minutes at five-on-five — 9th percentile in ice time.

With and without

TeammateTogetherHim apartMate apart
Jarred Tinordi34.5%34.7%40.6%
Alex Vlasic34.8%34.6%45.1%
Nick Foligno41.3%32.2%43.1%

34.5% together, 34.7% for him apart and 40.6% for Tinordi apart. Tinordi was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for him.

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

20 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 0 of them goals. 0% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 80% from beyond forty.
