This Season So Far
The 2025-26 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
11 goals and 20 assists in 81 games for 31 points, minus-38, on 23:59 a night and 163 shots.
48.6 per cent at five-on-five, the 39th percentile, over 1,448 minutes. His on-ice goals were 42-59 against an expected 57-60, which is a roughly even five-on-five season — the minus-38 came almost entirely shorthanded and on the empty net, and it is one of the most misleading ratings in this edition.
The Finesse Game
A genuine shot from the point — 163 attempts and 11 goals is a good return — and a first pass that is quick when he is not pressured.
The decision-making under a forecheck is the recurring problem. He attempts the difficult play at the wrong time and the resulting turnovers happen in his own zone, which is how a defenceman with real tools posts a 37th-percentile share at 24 minutes a night.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 202, and he is willing without being punishing. He defends his net front adequately and takes contact to make a play.
60 penalty minutes over 81 games is a high rate and part of why he is on the ice for so much shorthanded damage.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick, eight seasons in one organisation, and a season played in the middle of persistent trade speculation with a contract expiring.
At 28 the honest reading is a good second-pair defenceman being used as a first, whose rating last season was far worse than his play. Both halves of that sentence matter, and the club has to decide which one it is paying for.
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.

- ordinaryraised, and called ordinary
- 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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 2 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 71 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.

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, 2024-25
- The club
- CGY took 48.7% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.6% — 0.1 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- First pair, 1,448 minutes at five-on-five — 97th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kevin Bahl | 47.8% | 51.1% | 41.1% |
| Nazem Kadri | 48.6% | 48.6% | 48.8% |
| Blake Coleman | 50.0% | 47.8% | 53.4% |
47.8% together, 51.1% for him apart and 41.1% for Bahl apart. He was carrying it: the share stayed with him and left Bahl behind.
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
255 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 13 of them goals. His median goal came from 30 feet. 9% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 67% from beyond forty.
