Taylor Raddysh
New York Rangers Right Wing
27 points in 80 games in Washington, and a career plus-minus of minus-53 that says more about the clubs than the man.

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
7 goals and 20 assists in 80 games for Washington — 27 points, minus-7, at 12:22 a night on 18 penalty minutes.
93 shots at 7.5 per cent. It is the second-best point total of his career and it came on a club that finished first in its conference, in a role he had not previously been given.
The Finesse Game
The passing has quietly become the better half. 20 assists on a third line is a real number and 57 assists against 43 goals over 305 career games is not the split anybody projected for a junior scorer.
The shot has gone. He scored 20 goals in Chicago three seasons ago and 12 in the two years since, on similar volume. 7 goals at 7.5 per cent is a poor conversion rate and it is now the third consecutive season of one.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 201 and he is a willing rather than a punishing forward. He will forecheck, he will take the body, and he does not finish checks in a way anybody remembers.
18 penalty minutes in 80 games says he is disciplined and it also says he is not engaged in the parts of the game that produce them. He is neither heavy nor soft and he plays a straight-line, positionally sound wing.
The Intangibles
A second-round pick, four seasons and four organisations, and 305 games at 27.
A career minus-53 was earned mostly in Chicago on very bad clubs and should not be read as a defensive verdict. He is a thirteenth forward who can play up when somebody is hurt, signed cheaply for exactly that, and the club needed three of him.
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.

- ordinaryraised, and called ordinary
- 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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 62 points above where the report does. 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 — 62 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.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nic Dowd | 48.3% | 54.3% | 52.5% |
| Brandon Duhaime | 48.2% | 53.8% | 50.0% |
| Rasmus Sandin | 53.9% | 50.5% | 50.6% |
48.3% together, 54.3% for him apart and 52.5% for Dowd apart. Both were better apart than together — the pairing was doing neither of them any favours.
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
136 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 7 of them goals. His median goal came from 16 feet. 48% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
