This Season So Far
The 2024-25 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
73 games with Chicago, 5 goals and 9 assists for 14 points, 1 on the power play, 1 shorthanded, 22 penalty minutes, 15:53 a night and minus-19. He took 42.6 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 909 minutes, the 10th percentile, and his ice went 15-33 against an expectation of 30.27-40.71.
Fifteen goals of finishing below what the chances were worth and eight goals of goaltending above them. Fifteen goals for in 909 minutes is the lowest rate of anybody in this chapter and almost none of it is his doing.
The Finesse Game
171 attempts at a median of 26 feet with 40 per cent of them from inside twenty and 24 per cent from beyond forty, 117 of those on goal, converted at 4.2 per cent against a career 10.20 across 353 shots.
Thirty-six career goals and 11 power-play goals in 225 games. He shot 4.2 per cent against a career 10.20, which is the whole of the difference between 20 goals two seasons ago and 5 last season; the location of the attempts barely moved.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 201 and took 22 penalty minutes.
Forty-eight career penalty minutes in 225 games. He is a reasonable size and forechecks honestly without ever fouling anybody; there is not much damage in it and there is no penalty trouble either.
The Intangibles
Fifty-eighth overall in 2016 by Tampa Bay, three seasons, and Washington will be his third organisation.
A career minus-46 in 225 games. He was a second-round pick who scored 20 goals for Chicago two seasons ago and 5 last season, and 909 minutes of the worst ice in this chapter is most of the explanation.
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.
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
- he lacks itraised, and he does not have it
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.
“He shot 4.2 per cent against a career 10.20, which is the whole of the difference between 20 goals two seasons ago and 5 last season; the location of the attempts barely moved.”
“He is a reasonable size and forechecks honestly without ever fouling anybody; there is not much damage in it and there is no penalty trouble either.”

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 66 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 652 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.

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.

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, 2023-24
- The club
- CHI took 41.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 42.6% — 0.7 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second line, 909 minutes at five-on-five — 48th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tyler Johnson | 39.5% | 46.1% | 39.2% |
| Kevin Korchinski | 44.6% | 41.7% | 39.7% |
| Seth Jones | 41.3% | 43.2% | 46.8% |
39.5% together, 46.1% for him apart and 39.2% for Johnson apart. He was better away from Johnson, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Johnson.
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
171 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 5 of them goals. His median goal came from 23 feet. 40% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 24% from beyond forty.
