This Season So Far
The 2022-23 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
63 games between Florida and Philadelphia, 10 goals and 11 assists at 13:25 a night, minus-2, twelve penalty minutes, 126 shots. Tenth overall in 2017 by Florida, three seasons, 115 games, 40 points.
The Finesse Game
2.55 takeaways per 60 is the 19th-most of the 393 forwards who played forty games, alongside 6.95 hits per 60 at the 77th percentile.
8.94 shots per 60 is the 77th percentile at 7.9 per cent — a real volume rate at a poor conversion — from a 28-foot median with forty-three per cent from the slot. He shoots often and from the outer edge of where it counts.
1.46 even-strength points per 60 is the 30th percentile, which is the number that argues against him, off 1:42 of power play at the 52nd.
51.3 per cent of the expected goals and 53.7 per cent of the attempts are the best pair of shares of any forward on this roster, and most of the ice they were built on was Florida’s — the club that finished 1st in the league in attempt share at 56.3 per cent.
And the chair was the softest here as well. He started 59.2 per cent of his end-zone shifts in the attacking end, the 67th-highest of the 652 skaters who took two hundred end-zone starts, and nothing at all short-handed.
The Physical Game
6.95 hits per 60 is the 77th percentile at 6-1 and 210 pounds, and 1.14 blocks per 60 the 21st.
0.71 penalties drawn per 60 against 0.43 taken, and twelve penalty minutes in sixty-three games is very quiet for a man who hits at this rate.
The Intangibles
23.0 mph is the 82nd percentile, 8.9 bursts per 60 the 82nd, and the shot 95.5 mph at the 87th. Three separate measurements in the top fifth, and 9.90 miles per 60 at the 71st behind them.
Only Travis Konecny is quicker on this roster and only Zack MacEwen and Kevin Hayes shoot harder, and Tippett is younger than all three. He arrived in the trade that sent Claude Giroux out of Philadelphia.
He is 23, a tenth-overall pick, and has 115 NHL games at thirteen minutes a night. The takeaways, the skating and the shot speed are three genuine top-fifth figures. The scoring rate, the shooting percentage and the fact that his possession shares were built on the best possession club in hockey are the three reasons the twenty-one points are what they are.
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.
- drives-play· the shot clock turns his way while he is out there

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 9 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 649 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 66 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, 2021-22
- The club
- PHI took 46.0% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.3% — 5.3 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- 738 minutes at five-on-five — 36th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| MacKenzie Weegar | 49.6% | 51.7% | 58.9% |
| Sam Bennett | 51.5% | 51.2% | 57.4% |
| Brandon Montour | 51.5% | 51.2% | 55.8% |
49.6% together, 51.7% for him apart and 58.9% for Weegar apart. Weegar was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for him.
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
160 unblocked shots in 2021-22, 9 of them goals. His median goal came from 16 feet. 33% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
