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
41 games, 7 goals and 13 assists for 20 points, 25 penalty minutes, 12:34 a night and minus-6. He took 53.1 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 452 minutes, the 76th percentile, and his ice went 17-23 against an expectation of 20.81-18.41.
Four goals of scoring that did not arrive and five more conceded than the chances called for. Twenty points in forty-one games is a top-nine rate from a man who could not hold a top-nine job.
The Finesse Game
62 shots at a median of 22 feet with 40 per cent from inside 20, converted at 11.3 per cent against a career 10.13.
47 career assists in 148 games. He skates well and passes better than he shoots, and thirteen assists in forty-one games is the part worth keeping. The finishing has never matched the draft position.
The Physical Game
He is 6-0 and 187 and does not initiate.
25 penalty minutes in 41 games at twelve and a half a night is a real rate and most of it is a stick. He does not forecheck by force and does not win the wall.
The Intangibles
Twenty-fourth overall in 2019 out of Mississauga, three seasons, and 70 points in 148 games, all of it for one organisation.
He is 23 and has been in and out of the lineup for three years. On a club that has just added Stamkos and Marchessault to a forward group that was already deep, the runway has got shorter.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 19 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 415 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 67 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.

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
- NSH took 52.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 53.1% — 0.6 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Fourth line, 452 minutes at five-on-five — 15th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michael McCarron | 57.1% | 49.5% | 48.3% |
| Roman Josi | 52.6% | 53.5% | 54.6% |
| Ryan McDonagh | 60.0% | 50.0% | 54.7% |
57.1% together, 49.5% for him apart and 48.3% for McCarron 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
85 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 7 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 40% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 13% from beyond forty.
