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
80 games, 24 goals and 12 assists for 36 points, 51 penalty minutes, 12:06 a night and plus-23, with 5 game-winners. He took 54.4 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 920 minutes, the 84th percentile, and his ice went 52-28 against an expectation of 39.08-32.72.
Thirteen goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and five goals of goaltending above them. Twenty-four goals in twelve minutes a night is a career high by eleven and it came at a 20 per cent shooting rate.
The Finesse Game
169 attempts at a median of 15 feet with 64 per cent of them from inside twenty and 11 per cent from beyond forty, 115 of those on goal, converted at 20.0 per cent against a career 12.53 across 399 shots.
Fifty career goals and 40 assists in 221 games. A fifteen-foot median attempt with 64 per cent of them from inside twenty feet is a 5-9 winger who plays the whole shift below the dots; twenty per cent of 120 shots will not repeat, but the location of them will.
The Physical Game
He is 5-9 and 185 and took 51 penalty minutes.
Ninety-seven career penalty minutes in 221 games. He is short and thick and forechecks into people twice his reach, and fifty-one penalty minutes in twelve minutes a night is the rate of a man who never stops.
The Intangibles
Fortieth overall in 2019 by Vancouver, four seasons, one organisation, and 90 points in 221 games.
A career plus-9 in 221 games. He is 23, he had scored 26 goals in his first three seasons put together, and he scored 24 last season on the fourth line.
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.

- 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 two rank him within 0 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 — 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.

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
- VAN took 52.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 54.4% — 1.8 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 920 minutes at five-on-five — 49th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elias Pettersson | 61.1% | 49.9% | 49.8% |
| Quinn Hughes | 58.5% | 51.2% | 53.9% |
| Filip Hronek | 53.5% | 55.1% | 50.8% |
61.1% together, 49.9% for him apart and 49.8% for Pettersson apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.
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
169 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 24 of them goals. His median goal came from 14 feet. 64% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 11% from beyond forty.
