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
67 games, 14 goals and 15 assists for 29 points, 2 on the power play, 16 penalty minutes, 15:30 a night and plus-17, with 3 game-winners. He took 55.6 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 838 minutes, the 90th percentile, and his ice went 39-20 against an expectation of 33.76-26.94.
Five goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and seven goals of goaltending above them. Thirty-nine goals for and 20 against in 838 minutes is nineteen goals to the good in sixty-seven games.
The Finesse Game
141 attempts at a median of 17 feet with 57 per cent of them from inside twenty and 12 per cent from beyond forty, 101 of those on goal, converted at 13.3 per cent against a career 11.66 across 489 shots.
Fifty-seven career goals and 59 assists in 283 games. A seventeen-foot median attempt from a third-line centre is a man who does his work in the slot; he arrives late, finds the puck on the second chance and puts it in from six feet.
The Physical Game
He is 5-11 and 172 and took 16 penalty minutes.
Fifty-eight career penalty minutes in 283 games. He is one of the lightest forwards on the roster and plays the middle of the ice anyway; the survival is positional rather than physical and the penalty totals show a man who is never late enough to have to foul.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, four seasons, and Vancouver is his third organisation.
A career minus-2 and 3 shorthanded goals in 283 games from a man nobody drafted. He came out of Switzerland at 24, has scored between 24 and 36 points in each of his four seasons, and Vancouver is his third club in those four.
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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 10 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 84.5
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.

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
- VAN took 52.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 55.6% — 3.0 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- 838 minutes at five-on-five — 42nd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filip Hronek | 56.1% | 55.3% | 50.3% |
| Quinn Hughes | 56.3% | 55.2% | 54.7% |
| Tyler Myers | 53.8% | 56.4% | 52.2% |
56.1% together, 55.3% for him apart and 50.3% for Hronek apart. Hronek was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Hronek 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
141 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 14 of them goals. His median goal came from 16 feet. 57% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 12% from beyond forty.
