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
3 goals and 6 assists in 34 games — 9 points at 12:37 a night, minus-15, with 1 power-play goal on 58 shots at 5.17 per cent, and 4 penalty minutes.
45.7 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 375 minutes, the 25th percentile. His ice went 14-24 against an expectation of 13.11-15.57 — eight goals conceded above expectation in a fourth-line role.
The Finesse Game
58 attempts at a median of 33 feet, with 25 per cent from inside 20 and 27 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 5.17 per cent.
The shot is the reason he was a first-round pick and it did not go in — three goals on fifty-eight attempts, from a man who scored 41 in a college season. The release is quick and the distance is the problem: a rookie shooting from thirty-three feet is a rookie who has not yet found a way inside.
6 assists in 34 games. The passing is competent and the hockey sense is ahead of the production.
The Physical Game
5-10 and 183. He does not forecheck with force and he does not win pucks on the wall, and the game is played in open ice.
4 penalty minutes in 34 games is one of the cleanest rates on the roster, and it is clean because he is rarely in a battle.
The Intangibles
Thirteenth overall in 2021, out of Harvard, and 35 NHL games at 21 with three goals.
A first-round winger who scores three times in his first thirty-four games is neither a failure nor an argument, and on a club that has just traded most of its top six there is now ice available to settle it either way.
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.
- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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
HindsightThe two rank him within 6 points of one another. 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.
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 — 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 84.5
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, 2023-24
- The club
- CGY took 49.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 45.7% — 4.2 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 375 minutes at five-on-five — 11th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| MacKenzie Weegar | 43.2% | 47.4% | 51.3% |
| Rasmus Andersson | 49.9% | 43.4% | 48.4% |
| Yegor Sharangovich | 44.0% | 46.6% | 49.8% |
43.2% together, 47.4% for him apart and 51.3% for Weegar apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
91 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 3 of them goals. His median goal came from 28 feet. 25% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 27% from beyond forty.
