This Season So Far
The 2022-23 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
0 goals and 4 assists in 37 games for Colorado — a minus-3 and 2 penalty minutes at 14:05 a night.
Thirty-seven games is short of the 40 this book requires for a peer group, so the figures below are raw. 46.8 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 495 minutes. His ice went 17-22 against an expectation of 17.34-19.68.
That share was posted on the Stanley Cup champion, which is the frame that matters: Colorado took 51.9 per cent of the chances as a club and he came in five points under it.
The Finesse Game
Twenty-six shots in thirty-seven games and none of them went in. The median travels 48 feet, 9 per cent came from inside twenty, and 70 per cent from beyond forty.
81.1 mph off the stick, which is very soft for a defenceman — only one of the 192 qualified defencemen recorded a softer one — with the standing caveat that a maximum is a season best and thirty-seven games is fewer chances at one.
No power-play time. Four assists in thirty-seven games.
The Physical Game
6-1 and 206. 2.10 miles a game and a 21.5 mph top speed, both low, and fourteen minutes a night is part of why.
Two penalty minutes in thirty-seven games. One minor all season, from a defenceman playing a quarter of an hour a night.
The Intangibles
Second overall in 2012, and 432 NHL games at 29 with 128 points and a career plus-13 across three organisations.
Fifteen goals in 432 games and 113 assists — a puck-mover without a shot, which the 81.1 mph confirms rather than reveals.
The record is nine seasons with exactly one of eighty games: 66, 12, 82, 60, 44, 56, 27, 48, 37. Availability is the whole of what has kept a second overall pick at 14 minutes a night, and nothing in this repo measures it forward.
Edmonton has five defencemen ahead of him. He is the seventh on a club that went to the conference final, and the case for him is that he has played 432 games without ever being the reason a shift went wrong.
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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 27 points above where the report does. 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. Why the numbers land there sets out the club he did it on, the minutes he played and the men he played them with.
Both bars are percentiles among the 649 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 45 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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Erik Johnson | 54.1% | 42.6% | 49.9% |
| Nazem Kadri | 42.8% | 48.6% | 57.0% |
| Logan O'Connor | 43.3% | 48.2% | 49.3% |
54.1% together, 42.6% for him apart and 49.9% for Johnson 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.
