Last Season

Seven goals and 11 assists in 71 games — 18 points, minus-two, at 11:52 a night with only sixteen penalty minutes.

His 381st career game.

The Finesse Game

A hundred unblocked attempts, seven goals, median 22 feet with 41 per cent from inside twenty. Eighty points in 381 career games is a fourth-line rate and that is the job.

Eleven assists in 71 games is the honest return.

The Physical Game

Six foot four, 219, and he uses the length on the forecheck and the penalty kill. Sixteen penalty minutes across 71 games is disciplined for a player his size.

He is not a fighter and does not play with an edge; he is simply large, willing and positionally sound.

The Intangibles

Forty-six point four per cent of the expected goals, 21st percentile, and 43.6 per cent of the shot attempts, fifth percentile, across 689 minutes.

The goals came out 46 for and 39 against regardless, which on a club that conceded 206 goals at five-on-five is a genuinely surprising margin and probably a small-sample one.

Four points in his last ten, three of them goals. He is 30, a hundred and eighty-sixth overall pick, and has built a real career out of being the fourth-line centre nobody minds having.

The numbers are colder on him than this report is — worth asking who he played with, and against whom.
