Last Season

Nineteen goals and 26 assists in 68 games — 45 points, plus-17, at 17:22 a night with 56 penalty minutes. His five-on-five work was done in Seattle.

The Finesse Game

Considerably more skill than a man this size is usually credited with. A hundred and eighty-nine unblocked attempts, eighteen goals, median 27 feet with 39 per cent from inside twenty.

Twenty-six assists in 68 games says the hands are real — he protects the puck below the goal line and finds the back door.

Two hundred and thirty-four points in 370 career games, and he did not play a full NHL season until he was 26.

The Physical Game

Six foot five and 212, and he uses it. Fifty-six penalty minutes. He is difficult to move off the wall, wins the front of the net, and forechecks with genuine weight.

The skating is the limitation and it always has been; it is why the size took so long to become useful.

The Intangibles

Fifty-two point four per cent of the expected goals, 74th percentile, and 50.7 per cent of the shot attempts, 64th, across 1,007 minutes in Seattle — with the chances 43.7 to 39.8 in his favour.

On a Seattle club where three of the five busiest skaters finished at or below the twelfth percentile, that is a striking figure, and it is the best evidence on this page.

He is 31, undrafted, and arrives on a San Jose roster whose two best players are 20 and 21 and weigh 190 and 180 pounds. A six-foot-five winger who can play with them is worth more here than the points say.
