Twenty-two games, a hundred and seventy-three pounds, and a body that keeps stopping him.

Last Season
One goal and two assists in 22 games, minus-four, at 10:09 a night with 17 penalty minutes. Sixty games missed.
The Finesse Game
There is a decent passer in here — 39 assists in 166 career games is a real rate for a bottom-six forward — and almost none of it appeared last season.
Twenty-eight unblocked attempts, one goal, median distance 33 feet. Nineteen shots on goal across 22 games is not enough to say anything.
The Physical Game
Six foot two and 173 pounds, and that is the problem written down. He plays an aggressive, agitating, contact-seeking game in a body that cannot take it, and the result is a career of interruptions.
Seventeen penalty minutes in 22 games says the style has not changed.
The Intangibles
Two hundred and fifteen five-on-five minutes, and the numbers are ugly — 43.7 per cent of the expected goals, ninth percentile — with far too small a sample to mean much.
He is 26 and has 166 games across three seasons. The compete is genuine and admirable and it is also the thing breaking him. Until he can either add fifteen pounds or play a less violent game, this is what the seasons will look like.
