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
3 goals and 1 assist in 32 games for 4 points, minus-6, on 17:17 a night.
41.3 per cent at five-on-five, the 4th percentile, over 478 minutes. 88 per cent of his shots came from beyond 40 feet at a median of 62 — the most perimeter shot chart in this edition by some distance.
The Finesse Game
There is essentially none. 28 shots in 32 games, 1 assist, and a first pass that goes to the boards.
3 goals from 28 attempts is a curiosity rather than a skill. Nothing here suggests a puck-moving future.
The Physical Game
6-8 and 228, one of the largest defencemen in the league, and the reach ends plays that most defencemen would have to chase. He clears the crease and is very difficult to get around at the blue line.
10 penalty minutes in 32 games is disciplined. The skating is the limitation and it is severe — he cannot recover when a forward gets outside him, which is why the chance share is where it is.
The Intangibles
A seventh-round pick, four American League seasons, and an NHL job at 24 built entirely on being enormous.
The projection is a seventh defenceman who plays 30 games. Whether a modern NHL can carry a defenceman who cannot skate is the question, and the answer has been trending one way for a decade.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 5 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 357 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 63 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
2024-25 · 478 minutes at five-on-five
- Alex Vlasic69%
- TJ Brodieoff the roster15%
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
- CHI took 43.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 41.3% — 1.9 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 478 minutes at five-on-five — 15th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alex Vlasic | 40.2% | 44.2% | 42.4% |
| Connor Bedard | 38.2% | 42.8% | 41.5% |
| Teuvo Teravainen | 42.2% | 41.0% | 46.3% |
40.2% together, 44.2% for him apart and 42.4% for Vlasic apart. He was better away from Vlasic, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Vlasic.
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
41 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 3 of them goals. His median goal came from 36 feet. 5% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 88% from beyond forty.
