This Season So Far
The 2026-27 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
1 goal and 6 assists in 50 games — 7 points, minus-12, at 13:39 a night with 43 penalty minutes. His 5-on-5 work was done in Winnipeg.
His 1,122nd career game.
He turns 37 in November.
The Finesse Game
56 unblocked attempts from a median of 57 feet, 89 per cent of them from beyond 40 and 2 per cent from inside 20 — the most extreme perimeter chart of any defenceman on this roster.
45 goals in 1,122 career games. 6 assists in 50 games is close to the bottom of this book.
The Physical Game
6-2, 225, and he has built an 18-season career entirely on hitting — he is among the league’s leaders in hits most years and has been since he was 19.
43 penalty minutes in 14 minutes a night is a high rate.
The skating was never good and is now poor.
The Intangibles
38.6 per cent of the expected goals, 1st percentile, and 43.1 per cent of the shot attempts, eighth, across 605 minutes in Winnipeg, with the goals 17-32 against on the strength of that club’s goaltending.
He is 36, the fifth pick in 2008, 2 Stanley Cup rings from Tampa, and on his ninth organisation. 1,000 100 games is a career; the numbers say the last of them should be short shifts.

The eye and the numbers
SightedThe two rank him within 14 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.
Both bars are percentiles among the 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 65 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.

skated, all strengths
one shot; the league's average best is 88.9
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.

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, 2025-26
- The club
- BUF took 51.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 38.6% — 12.5 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 605 minutes at five-on-five — 24th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logan Stanley | 41.9% | 35.4% | 46.3% |
| Jonathan Toews | 38.8% | 38.6% | 45.7% |
| Gabriel Vilardi | 41.8% | 37.2% | 50.0% |
41.9% together, 35.4% for him apart and 46.3% for Stanley apart. He was the one being carried: the share went with Stanley and did not follow 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
56 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 61 feet. 2% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 89% from beyond forty.
