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

31 games in Carolina, 3 goals and 8 assists for 11 points, 2 on the power play, 24 penalty minutes, 14:20 a night and minus-7. He took 48.0 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 359 minutes, and his ice went 11-19 against an expectation of 15.32-16.59, all of it with the Hurricanes.

Four goals of scoring that did not arrive and two more conceded than the chances called for. Thirty-one games on the club with the best shot share in hockey, and a 48.0 per cent chance share out of it, which is the most damning line on this page.

The Finesse Game

44 attempts at a median of 53 feet with 68 per cent from beyond 40, converted at 6.8 per cent against a career 6.23.

162 career assists in 371 games. The shot from the point and the pass off the half-wall are both genuinely good and 13 career power-play goals understates the offensive ability. This is a power-play defenceman and there is nothing else in the description.

The Physical Game

He is 6-0 and 190 and does not defend with contact.

329 career penalty minutes in 371 games is a high rate and very little of it is physical. He retaliates, agitates, and takes penalties he does not need to; he does not clear a crease and does not win many walls.

The Intangibles

Nineteenth overall in 2014 by Tampa Bay, out of Sewell, New Jersey, eight seasons across four organisations, and 210 points in 371 games at a career minus-23.

He is 28 and on his fifth club in eight seasons. The offensive ability has never been in doubt and it has never been enough, which is a sentence that has now been written about him in five cities.

The eye and the numbers

Report

The report ranks him 20 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 415 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 67 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.

Usual linemates

2023-24 with CAR · 359 minutes at five-on-five

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
CAR took 56.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.0% — 8.6 below the club he did it on.
The role
359 minutes at five-on-five — 10th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Martin Necas49.9%46.5%54.0%
Brady Skjei51.9%46.0%53.9%
Jack Drury49.2%47.5%59.6%

49.9% together, 46.5% for him apart and 54.0% for Necas apart. He was the one being carried: the share went with Necas and did not follow him.

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

60 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 3 of them goals. His median goal came from 54 feet. 10% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 68% from beyond forty.
