Last Season
Six goals and eight assists in 64 games — 14 points, minus-10, at 12:39 a night with eight penalty minutes.
The Finesse Game
The shot chart is respectable — 53 per cent of his unblocked attempts from inside twenty feet, median 18 — and six goals came out of 101 tries.
He is where he should be and nothing happens when he gets there. Sixty-six goals in 454 career games from a ninth overall pick is the plain summary.
Eight assists in 64 games.
The Physical Game
Six foot six, 222, and this is what has kept him employed for seven seasons. He wins net-front position, screens, and takes defensive-zone faceoffs.
Eight penalty minutes in 64 games is a strikingly low number for a man this size, and it is the criticism: he occupies space rather than imposing on it.
The Intangibles
Forty-five point eight per cent of the expected goals, 17th percentile, and 45.1 per cent of the shot attempts, 12th, across 688 minutes.
No points at all in his last ten games.
He is 27, the ninth pick in 2017, and this is now the shape of the career. A six-foot-six centre who goes to the net is a useful thing to have on a fourth line; it is not what the ninth pick was for, and the club has waited seven years to stop hoping.
