Last Season
Seventeen goals and 30 assists in 81 games — 47 points, plus-four, at 23:12 a night — the heaviest workload on the club — with six power-play goals and 71 penalty minutes.
His 617th career game and his 278th point.
The Finesse Game
The shot is the tool and it is one of the heaviest from any blue line in the league. Two hundred and seventy-five unblocked attempts from a median of 45 feet with 63 per cent from beyond forty, and seventeen goals came out of it.
Seventeen goals from a defenceman is a top-three figure at the position, and it is not a fluke — he has scored double figures three times.
Thirty assists is a fair rate.
The Physical Game
Six foot one, 202, and he plays a physical, sometimes undisciplined game. Seventy-one penalty minutes.
He defends his crease and finishes checks. The skating is adequate and genuine speed can beat him wide.
The Intangibles
Forty-nine point four per cent of the expected goals, 47th percentile, and 49.6 per cent of the shot attempts, 53rd, across 1,478 minutes — the only Vegas regular below the fiftieth percentile in chance share.
The goals came out 48 for and 72 against, the worst margin on the club.
Ten points in his last ten, five of them goals. He is 29, arrived from Calgary, and on a roster where everybody else is above water he is the one who is not. Twenty-three minutes a night is a great deal of ice for that.

The eye and the numbers
The numbers are colder on him than this report is — worth asking who he played with, and against whom.
