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

74 games, 25 goals and 47 assists for 72 points, 6 on the power play, 57 penalty minutes, 20:11 a night and plus-19, with 4 game-winners. He took 49.5 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,203 minutes, the 49th percentile, and his ice went 59-45 against an expectation of 55.85-57.06.

Three goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and twelve goals of goaltending above them. Forty-seven assists is his most since 2016-17 and the plus-19 matches the best figure of his career.

The Finesse Game

217 attempts at a median of 21 feet with 48 per cent of them from inside twenty and 9 per cent from beyond forty, 153 of those on goal, converted at 16.2 per cent against a career 16.74 across 1,774 shots.

297 career goals and 420 assists in 797 games. A career 16.74 per cent across seventeen hundred shots is a shot that goes in, and he takes it from the slot: 48 per cent of his attempts came from inside twenty feet and only 9 from beyond forty.

The Physical Game

He is 6-3 and 207 and took 57 penalty minutes.

360 career penalty minutes in 797 games. He is large and plays through the middle of the ice, protecting the puck with his body and taking the cross-checks in the slot rather than answering them.

The Intangibles

Seventh overall in 2011 by Winnipeg, thirteen seasons, one organisation, and 717 points in 797 games.

A career plus-65 and 48 game-winners in 797 games. He is 31, he has scored sixty or more points in nine different seasons, and he has played every one of his 797 NHL games for this club.

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

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.

The numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2023-24 · 1,203 minutes

Expected goals: 49.5%; 49th pct
Shot attempts: 48.7%; 43rd pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 59 for, 45 against. Expected: 55.9 and 57.1.

The eye and the numbers

Numbers

49th

The report ranks him 49 points above where the numbers do. 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 — 84 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2023-24 · 74 games

Top speed: 21.8 mph; 29th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 1.49 a game
Distance: 3.29 miles a game
Hardest shot: 88.5 mph; 61st pct

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 · 1203 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 49.5% — 2.5 below the club he did it on.
The role: First line, 1,203 minutes at five-on-five — 83rd percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Kyle Connor	48.1%	52.1%	49.3%
Josh Morrissey	54.6%	43.8%	54.3%
Dylan DeMelo	50.3%	48.9%	54.6%

48.1% together, 52.1% for him apart and 49.3% for Connor apart. He was better away from Connor, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Connor.

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

217 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 25 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 48% of his shots came from inside twenty feet.
