This Season So Far

The 2026-27 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

6 goals and 28 assists in 81 games — 34 points, plus-14, at 23:21 a night with only 16 penalty minutes.

The Finesse Game

The skating is exceptional for a man this size — he escapes forechecks by turning through them and carries the puck out of his own zone as well as any defenceman on the roster.

158 unblocked attempts from a median of 42 feet, 6 goals. 28 assists in 81 games is a fair rate for a first-pair defenceman whose job is the exit rather than the finish.

76 points in 230 career games.

The Physical Game

6-4, 210, and he defends with reach and feet rather than by punishing people. 16 penalty minutes across a full season of 23-minute nights is exceptionally disciplined.

He is not physically dominant for the size and that has followed him since Edmonton drafted him 8th overall.

The Intangibles

51.6 per cent of the expected goals, 68th percentile, against only 46.3 per cent of the shot attempts, 20th percentile, across 1,524 minutes — the heaviest workload on the club.

That 5-point gap is the St. Louis pattern in one line: the club was outshot all season and out-chanced nobody, finishing 48.2 per cent in attempts and 50.2 in expected goals. They give up the outside and defend the middle.

9 points in his last 10. He is 25, and the offer sheet St. Louis used to take him and Holloway out of Edmonton 2 summers ago now looks like the best thing this front office has done in a decade.

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

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.

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 1,524 minutes

Expected goals: 51.6%; 68th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 67 for, 58 against. Expected: 63.4 and 59.4.

Numbers

68th

The two rank him within 5 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.

Both bars are percentiles among the 656 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.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 81 games

Top speed: 23.5 mph; 98th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 1.95 a game
Distance: 3.30 miles a game
Hardest shot: 94.4 mph; 75th pct

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

2025-26 · 1524 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, 2025-26

The club: STL took 50.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 51.6% — 1.4 above the club he did it on.
The role: First pair, 1,524 minutes at five-on-five — 98th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Colton Parayko	51.4%	51.9%	51.5%
Pavel Buchnevich	51.9%	51.5%	51.1%
Robert Thomas	54.5%	50.4%	55.8%

51.4% together, 51.9% for him apart and 51.5% for Parayko apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.

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

158 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 6 of them goals. His median goal came from 35 feet. 13% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 56% from beyond forty.
