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
49 games, 4 goals and 2 assists for 6 points, 49 penalty minutes, 8:07 a night and minus-13. He took 48.6 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 394 minutes, the 42nd percentile, and his ice went 10-22 against an expectation of 13.42-14.18.
Three goals of finishing below what the chances were worth and eight more conceded than they called for. Ten goals for and twenty-two against in 394 minutes is a very hard sixteen games’ worth of ice.
The Finesse Game
45 attempts at a median of 17 feet with 58 per cent of them from inside twenty, 25 of those on goal, converted at 15.4 per cent against a career 10.81 across 583 shots.
Sixty-three career goals in 877 games. Everything he has ever scored has come from inside twenty feet, because that is the only place he goes with the puck; 72 career assists in fourteen seasons is the rest of it.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 225 and took 49 penalty minutes in 49 games.
1,072 career penalty minutes in 877 games — the fifth-most in this edition. He fights, he runs people, and he has made a fourteen-season career out of being the man a club sends over the boards when it wants something to happen after the whistle.
The Intangibles
One hundred and fifty-sixth overall in 2005 by St. Louis, fourteen seasons, and Toronto is his sixth organisation.
A career minus-47 across fourteen seasons and 877 games. He is 37 and has played eight minutes a night for most of a decade, and six clubs have wanted him for exactly one thing.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 0 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 — 68 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.
Usual linemates

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
- TOR took 52.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.6% — 3.5 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 394 minutes at five-on-five — 12th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| David Kampf | 52.6% | 40.8% | 40.7% |
| Noah Gregor | 39.7% | 54.7% | 42.8% |
| Pontus Holmberg | 56.1% | 44.5% | 51.3% |
52.6% together, 40.8% for him apart and 40.7% for Kampf 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
45 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 4 of them goals. His median goal came from 15 feet. 58% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 18% from beyond forty.
