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
47 games, 13 goals and 11 assists for 24 points, 12 penalty minutes, 13:17 a night and plus-8, with 1 game-winner. He took 56.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 582 minutes, the 94th percentile, and his ice went 30-20 against an expectation of 26.44-20.11.
Four goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and level at the other end. Fifty-six point eight per cent of the chances is the second-highest share on the club and it came in thirteen minutes a night.
The Finesse Game
140 attempts at a median of 24 feet with 39 per cent of them from inside twenty and 21 per cent from beyond forty, 97 of those on goal, converted at 13.4 per cent against a career 14.49 across 138 shots.
Twenty career goals and 13 assists in 67 games. A hundred and forty attempts in 47 games at thirteen minutes a night is a great deal of shooting for the ice, and a twenty-four-foot median says he takes them from where they go in.
The Physical Game
He is 6-1 and 194 and took 12 penalty minutes.
Twenty career penalty minutes in 67 games. He is an ordinary size and plays no physical game; the puck is received rather than won, and at 23 there is time for that to change.
The Intangibles
Seventy-ninth overall in 2019 by Vegas, three seasons, one organisation, and 33 points in 67 games.
A career plus-12 in 67 games. He is 23, he has 20 goals in 67 NHL games, and last season was the first in which anybody gave him more than eighteen of them.
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
- 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.
- drives-play· the shot clock turns his way while he is out there
56.8% of the expected goals at five-on-five with him on, 50.2% for his club in the minutes he sat: +6.6, 92nd percentile among forwards

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 14 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 — 76 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.
Usual linemates
2023-24 · 582 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
- VGK took 51.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 56.8% — 5.6 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 582 minutes at five-on-five — 23rd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| William Karlsson | 61.5% | 52.5% | 56.7% |
| Chandler Stephenson | 49.8% | 60.8% | 45.0% |
| Brayden McNabb | 55.1% | 57.6% | 51.8% |
61.5% together, 52.5% for him apart and 56.7% for Karlsson 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
140 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 13 of them goals. His median goal came from 14 feet. 40% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
