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
54 games, 1 goal and 6 assists for 7 points, 22 penalty minutes, 14:54 a night and minus-1. He took 50.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 698 minutes, the 53rd percentile, and his ice went 25-25 against an expectation of 24.59-24.48.
Level at both ends. Twenty-five goals for and 25 against on a fifty per cent chance share is a third-pairing defenceman doing exactly what the ice said he should.
The Finesse Game
55 attempts at a median of 57 feet with 85 per cent of them from beyond forty and 4 per cent from inside twenty, 28 of those on goal, converted at 3.3 per cent against a career 2.97 across 101 shots.
Three career goals and 14 assists in 122 games. Eighty-five per cent of his attempts came from beyond forty feet and half of them did not reach the net; there is no offensive part of this game and none is asked for.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 201 and took 22 penalty minutes.
Thirty-eight career penalty minutes in 122 games. He defends through contact and clears his own crease, and he does it without the penalty totals a third-pairing defenceman usually collects doing it.
The Intangibles
Twenty-sixth overall in 2015 by Montreal, six seasons, and Vancouver is his third organisation.
A career minus-1 in 122 games. He was a first-round pick who played 68 games in his first five seasons and 54 in his sixth, and he is 27.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 3 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 — 70 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.

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
- VAN took 52.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.1% — 2.5 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second pair, 698 minutes at five-on-five — 31st percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ian Cole | 55.6% | 46.3% | 53.4% |
| Nikita Zadorov | 48.3% | 51.1% | 50.2% |
| Conor Garland | 50.2% | 50.1% | 62.7% |
55.6% together, 46.3% for him apart and 53.4% for Cole apart. He was worse away from Cole, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Cole did.
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
55 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 1 of them goals. His median goal came from 4 feet. 4% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 85% from beyond forty.
