Ask the book

2026-27 edition Ask a direct question about this edition of the book — who, how many, how common, which group more — and it is answered with a table computed on this page from the edition’s index: the season line, height and age, the on-ice percentiles, the grades and the traits read out of every report. Ask for a view on named players — what a comparison comes down to, what makes a man — and you get the book’s reading of their own pages, and only those. The model turns your question into a query and phrases the result, or reads the pages it is handed; it never originates a figure, and an answer carrying a figure that is on neither the table nor the pages is withheld. It does not forecast, and it says so when a question is outside what the book holds.

Tables are computed on this page from the 2026-27 edition’s index; readings rest on the players’ own pages; the model never counts. Twenty questions an hour.

This Season So Far

The 2026-27 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

52 appearances, 27-23-1, a 3.07 goals-against average and a .8768 save percentage with 4 shutouts. His 5-on-5 work was done in Florida.

His 806th career game and his 456th win. A career save percentage of .9123 across 16 seasons.

He turns 38 in September.

The Physical Game

6-2 and 180 pounds, and small by the standards of the position — the game has always been about quickness and reading the release rather than covering net.

At 37 the push across the crease is still there and the recovery on a second chance is not. Rebound control is the part that has gone.

The Mental Game

2 Vezinas, a Stanley Cup at 34 after a decade of being told he could not win one, and one of the more complete career arcs the position has produced.

4 shutouts in a .8768 season is the shape of a goaltender who is still capable of the good night and no longer capable of the good month.

The Intangibles

A .8768 is the third-lowest figure of any goaltender who appeared 40 times, behind only Binnington and Lankinen.

He arrives on a club whose goaltending finished 21 goals worse than the chances it faced — the third-worst in the league — and which conceded 206 goals at 5-on-5, second-most.

He is 37, and Toronto is betting that a career .9123 means more than a recent .8768. On the evidence in this book that is the single riskiest bet any club made this summer.
