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
82 games, 5 goals and 28 assists for 33 points, 1 on the power play, 63 penalty minutes, 20:50 a night and plus-9, with 1 game-winner. He took 49.2 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,399 minutes, the 46th percentile, and his ice went 59-52 against an expectation of 53.42-55.18.
Six goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and three goals of goaltending above them. Forty-nine point two per cent of the chances is the lowest share of the four defencemen who played twelve hundred minutes, and the plus-9 is the smallest of them too.
The Finesse Game
197 attempts at a median of 54 feet with 77 per cent of them from beyond forty and 8 per cent from inside twenty, 136 of those on goal, converted at 3.4 per cent against a career 3.82 across 891 shots.
183 career assists against 34 goals in 467 games. He shoots from the point often and it almost never goes in; the value is in the outlet pass and in a right-handed shot that can run a second unit, and 45 points in 2019-20 is the high-water mark of it.
The Physical Game
He is 6-0 and 190 and took 63 penalty minutes.
252 career penalty minutes in 467 games. He is small for a defenceman and plays as though he is not, finishing checks and cross-checking men out of the crease; sixty-three penalty minutes is what that costs a 190-pound defenceman every year.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, seven seasons, and Winnipeg is his second organisation.
A career plus-1 in 467 games from a man nobody drafted. He reached the league at 22 out of college, has played all 82 games twice in five seasons here, and took twenty and a half minutes a night last season.
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
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
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 report ranks him 37 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 77 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.

skated, all strengths
one shot; the league's average best is 90.2
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.
Usual linemates
2023-24 · 1399 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, 2023-24
- The club
- WPG took 52.0% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.2% — 2.8 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second pair, 1,399 minutes at five-on-five — 94th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brenden Dillon | 46.8% | 53.8% | 58.2% |
| Mark Scheifele | 42.7% | 52.8% | 53.0% |
| Mason Appleton | 50.4% | 48.8% | 51.5% |
46.8% together, 53.8% for him apart and 58.2% for Dillon 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
197 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 28 feet. 8% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 77% from beyond forty.
