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
19 goals and 53 assists in 81 games — 72 points, plus-10, at 20:39 a night with 61 penalty minutes.
The Finesse Game
The skating is the second-best in this book behind Jack Hughes and it is the whole engine. He carries the puck through the neutral zone at a speed that forces defencemen to turn, and the passing arrives out of that.
53 assists is a genuine first-line playmaker’s number. The shooting is the persistent criticism: 284 unblocked attempts from a median of 27 feet with 34 per cent inside 20, and 19 goals.
He has been told to shoot more for 8 seasons and has never really done it.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 186, and light. 61 penalty minutes is higher than his game suggests and mostly comes from frustration and stick fouls on the backcheck.
He does not go to the net front and does not win wall battles.
The Intangibles
51.4 per cent of the expected goals, 67th percentile, with the chances 61.3 to 58.0 in his favour and the goals 57-48.
New York under-finished by 22 goals. 53 assists on a club that could not convert is a harder season than the total suggests.
7 points in his last 10, one of them a goal. He is 29, 534 points into 611 games, and still the most watchable player on the roster.
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
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 eye and the numbers
SightedThe two rank him within 15 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 — 78 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.

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.

Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2025-26
- The club
- NYI took 48.4% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.4% — 3.0 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- First line, 1,255 minutes at five-on-five — 86th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matthew Schaefer | 52.4% | 50.6% | 50.0% |
| Adam Pelech | 56.1% | 48.7% | 48.9% |
| Tony DeAngelo | 49.6% | 52.5% | 47.5% |
52.4% together, 50.6% for him apart and 50.0% for Schaefer apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
284 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 19 of them goals. His median goal came from 17 feet. 35% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 26% from beyond forty.
