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
12 goals and 15 assists in 74 games — 27 points, plus-6, at 13:48 a night with 10 penalty minutes.
The Finesse Game
The shot chart is the encouraging part and almost nobody has noticed it. 51 per cent of his unblocked attempts came from inside 20 feet, median 20, with only 10 per cent from beyond 40 — the best location profile of any forward on the club after Eberle.
12 goals from 154 tries is a modest conversion off that ice, which is a finishing problem rather than a positional one, and finishing is the part that usually arrives last.
78 points in 169 career games.
The Physical Game
6 foot even, 192, and he plays a heavier game than the draft profile suggested. 10 penalty minutes in 74 games is very disciplined.
He wins his draws, works the wall, and is genuinely reliable without the puck. The skating is ordinary and it is the reason the ceiling talk has quieted.
The Intangibles
50.1 per cent of the expected goals, 55th percentile, against only 45.9 per cent of the shot attempts, 16th, across 888 minutes.
Dead average in chance share on a club that finished in the bottom 5 of the league at it is a genuinely good result, and the plus-6 is the only positive figure among Seattle’s busier forwards.
7 points in his last 10, 3 of them goals. He is 22, was taken 4th overall and spent 2 years being discussed as a disappointment, and this is the first season where the underlying work says third-line centre now and more later.
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
SightedThe two rank him within 18 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.
Both bars are percentiles among the 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 76 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.

Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2025-26
- The club
- SEA took 46.0% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.1% — 4.1 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 888 minutes at five-on-five — 46th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Berkly Catton | 51.0% | 49.5% | 46.9% |
| Kaapo Kakko | 52.6% | 48.6% | 42.0% |
| Jamieson Oleksiak | 48.6% | 51.0% | 46.1% |
51.0% together, 49.5% for him apart and 46.9% for Catton apart. Catton was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Catton than for him.
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
154 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 12 of them goals. His median goal came from 13 feet. 51% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 10% from beyond forty.
