This Season So Far

The 2025-26 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

8 goals and 25 assists in 74 games — 33 points at 14:10 a night, plus-5, with 76 penalty minutes, the most on the club.

48.7 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 38th percentile. His ice went 36-25 against an expectation of 31.47-33.11 — five goals better than expected for and eight fewer against, on a third line.

The Finesse Game

93 attempts at a median of 30 feet with 25 per cent from inside 20, and 8 goals at 8.6 per cent. The finishing has never been the point and it has fallen away entirely.

25 assists in 74 games at fourteen minutes a night is the real number. He holds the puck longer than he should be able to at his size, he waits for a lane, and the vision is genuinely good.

The Physical Game

5-10 and 208 and among the most irritating players in the league. He hits men who outweigh him considerably, he goes into the scrum after every whistle, and he fights people much larger than he is.

76 penalty minutes in 74 games, and 706 in 735 career games. He answers everything and a great deal of the total is the second penalty in a sequence he started.

The Intangibles

Twelfth overall in 2013, the son of a famously combative NHL winger, and 735 games and 450 points across six organisations.

He is 30 and playing for his hometown club, and he is a Type 1 diabetic who has played more than seven hundred NHL games with it.

The eye and the numbers

Report

The report ranks him 34 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 76 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.

Usual linemates

2024-25 · 887 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, 2024-25

The club
TOR took 50.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.7% — 1.5 below the club he did it on.
The role
Third line, 887 minutes at five-on-five — 43rd percentile in ice time.

With and without

Bobby McMann46.9%50.3%53.4%
Nicholas Robertson50.5%47.6%48.8%
Morgan Rielly45.9%50.6%50.7%

46.9% together, 50.3% for him apart and 53.4% for McMann 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

134 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 8 of them goals. His median goal came from 20 feet. 25% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 27% from beyond forty.
