This Season So Far
The 2022-23 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
11 goals and 11 assists in 74 games for Tampa Bay and here — 22 points at 12:20 a night, plus-1, with 10 penalty minutes.
48.7 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 774 minutes, the 40th percentile among forwards. His ice went 33-26 against an expectation of 30.29-31.94 — six fewer goals against than the chances promised.
He came here from Tampa Bay in March, along with Boris Katchouk.
The Finesse Game
64 per cent of his shots came from the slot, the 90th percentile among forwards, on a median distance of 19 feet at the 15th. He shoots from the paint and nowhere else, which is why 104 attempts produced eleven goals at 10.6 per cent.
1.30 even-strength points per 60 is the 22nd percentile. The finishing is real and the production around it is not there yet.
0.99 giveaways per 60 is the 16th percentile — he does not hold the puck, because there is nothing he does with it.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 201, 6.77 hits per 60 is the 76th percentile among forwards and 1.38 blocks is the 35th.
0.26 penalties taken per 60 is the 7th percentile — 10 penalty minutes in 74 games, and a drawn-minus-taken of plus-0.39 at the 80th. He plays hard and cleanly.
9.25 miles per 60 is the 19th percentile among forwards. He does not cover ground; he stands in the slot.
The Intangibles
Fifty-eighth overall in 2016 by Tampa Bay, and 74 NHL games at 24 in his first season.
With Victor Hedman on the ice Tampa took 63.6 per cent of the chances; Raddysh without him was at 44.5, across 302 attempts together and 1,077 apart. That is the caution the whole page needs: a rookie’s numbers behind the best defenceman of his generation are not the same numbers anywhere else, and he is about to find out which of them were his.
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
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
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
HindsightThe two rank him within 7 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 649 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 58 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 84.1
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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ross Colton | 52.9% | 46.4% | 53.6% |
| Boris Katchouk | 55.3% | 45.8% | 44.1% |
| Ryan McDonagh | 44.9% | 49.9% | 50.4% |
52.9% together, 46.4% for him apart and 53.6% for Colton apart. He was worse away from Colton, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Colton did.
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
139 unblocked shots in 2021-22, 11 of them goals. His median goal came from 14 feet. 54% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 12% from beyond forty.
