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

78 games, 28 goals and 25 assists for 53 points, 5 on the power play, 12 penalty minutes, 16:35 a night and minus-5, with 4 game-winners. He took 52.2 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,041 minutes, the 69th percentile, and his ice went 51-54 against an expectation of 46.12-42.30.

Five goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and twelve more conceded than they called for. Twenty-eight goals and 53 points are both career highs, on sixteen and a half minutes a night.

The Finesse Game

392 attempts at a median of 32 feet with 25 per cent of them from inside twenty and 29 per cent from beyond forty, 289 of those on goal — the most on the club — converted at 9.7 per cent against a career 9.75 across 749 shots.

He shoots more than anybody on this roster and from further out than anybody who scores. The skating is the real weapon: he arrives at the offensive blue line at speed and beats defencemen wide, and everything he produces comes out of that first stride. 69 career assists in 270 games.

The Physical Game

He is 6-1 and 210 and took 12 penalty minutes.

46 career penalty minutes in 270 games is one of the lowest rates on the roster. He is a large winger who plays a light game — he does not forecheck by contact, does not win the wall and is not the man in front of the net on a power play.

The Intangibles

Tenth overall in 2017 by Florida, five seasons, two organisations, 142 points in 270 games and a career minus-35.

He was a top-ten pick who played 52 games across his first two seasons and has scored 55 goals in his last two. Twenty-eight goals on a club with the worst power play in the league is a real number.

The eye and the numbers

Hindsight
Report
52nd
Numbers
69th

The two rank him within 17 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 437 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.

Usual linemates

2023-24 · 1041 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
PHI took 52.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.2% — 0.4 below the club he did it on.
The role
Second line, 1,041 minutes at five-on-five — 64th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Morgan Frost56.3%49.3%53.8%
Cam York52.3%52.1%52.5%
Travis Sanheim49.0%54.0%54.1%

56.3% together, 49.3% for him apart and 53.8% for Frost apart. He was worse away from Frost, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Frost 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

392 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 27 of them goals. His median goal came from 24 feet. 26% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 29% from beyond forty.
