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
No goals and no assists in 35 games for Vancouver — 21 penalty minutes at 16:17 a night, minus-12.
Thirty-five games without a point at sixteen minutes a night is a rare line and it is not a misprint. 26 shot attempts in 35 games says the club was not asking for anything on that side of the puck.
The Finesse Game
26 attempts and no goals. There is nothing here: 17 points in 157 career NHL games.
The first pass is the whole puck game and it is adequate rather than good. Under a forecheck he chips it out rather than making a play, which is a legitimate choice and it is the only one he has.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 201 and this is the reason he is employed. He blocks shots, he clears the front of his own net, and he will fight.
21 penalty minutes in 35 games is a high rate. He plays with a hard edge and a share of it is deliberate.
The Intangibles
Twenty-sixth overall in 2015, and a career derailed at 21 by a puck to the face that cost him most of two seasons and required multiple surgeries.
157 games in seven seasons across four organisations. He is 28 and Philadelphia signed him in the summer as depth on a blue line that had two men under 190 pounds in its top four.
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
- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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 2 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 62 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.

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
- VAN took 49.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 41.0% — 8.1 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third pair, 483 minutes at five-on-five — 15th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carson Soucy | 38.9% | 44.7% | 47.7% |
| Conor Garland | 41.2% | 40.9% | 54.3% |
| Pius Suter | 35.0% | 43.3% | 52.2% |
38.9% together, 44.7% for him apart and 47.7% for Soucy 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
35 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 0 of them goals. 9% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 71% from beyond forty.
