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
19 goals and 25 assists in 79 games — 44 points at 14:04 a night, plus-4, with 7 power-play goals on only 91 shots.
44.7 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 13th percentile. His ice went 39-49 against an expectation of 32.58-40.39 — six goals better than expected for and nine worse against, on a second line that was losing the play.
The Finesse Game
91 attempts at a median of 20 feet with 49 per cent from inside 20 and 8 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 20.9 per cent. That is the highest conversion rate of any regular in this edition and it is not a repeatable number; the shot location is, and that is the more useful half of it.
25 assists in 79 games at fourteen minutes a night is real production. He plays the puck out of the corner and to the slot, and the power play is where the club has found the best use of him — 7 of his 19 goals came on it.
The Physical Game
6-0 and 192 and honest rather than heavy. He goes to the net, he takes the cross-check to stay there, and he wins a fair share of the pucks he goes after.
18 penalty minutes in 79 games. He is disciplined and he is not an agitator, and the physical game is functional rather than an asset.
The Intangibles
Fourth overall in 2022 after a season in which he was the consensus first pick for most of a year, and the draft-floor slide is still the first thing anybody says about him.
95 NHL games and 51 points. He is 21, he scored 19 goals in his first full season, and the club has been careful with the minutes in a way that looks correct.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 53 points above where the numbers do. 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 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 75 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.

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
- SEA took 47.2% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 44.7% — 2.5 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 904 minutes at five-on-five — 46th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eeli Tolvanen | 44.5% | 44.8% | 46.8% |
| Jared McCann | 46.2% | 43.6% | 47.8% |
| Brandon Montour | 47.0% | 43.3% | 48.7% |
44.5% together, 44.8% for him apart and 46.8% for Tolvanen apart. Splitting them up moved neither man. Whatever is driving the share, it is not this pairing.
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
163 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 19 of them goals. His median goal came from 17 feet. 50% of his shots came from inside twenty feet.
