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
6 goals and 9 assists in 31 games — 15 points at 17:05 a night, minus-1, with 1 power-play goal and 1 game-winner on 73 shots, and 30 penalty minutes. He missed more than half the season.
52.7 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five, the 67th percentile — the best mark of any player on this roster who was actually here. His ice went 16-16 against an expectation of 19.79-17.74.
The Finesse Game
73 attempts at a median of 28 feet, with 33 per cent from inside 20 and 15 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 8.2 per cent.
The passing is the whole player and it is close to elite. He sees a lane a beat before it exists and he will attempt the pass that a coach does not want and a penalty kill cannot cover. 99 assists in 211 career games, and two seasons of 61 and 65 points before he turned twenty-two.
The cost is the turnover. He holds it too long, and on a club with no margin the giveaway in the neutral zone is expensive.
The Physical Game
6-0 and 185 and slight. He does not forecheck with force, he does not win the wall, and he avoids contact rather than absorbing it.
30 penalty minutes in 31 games is a strange rate for a player who does not hit anybody, and it is roughing and retaliation rather than obstruction — he answers back.
The Intangibles
Ninth overall in 2019, and 154 points in 211 games before his twenty-third birthday, on clubs that have finished near the bottom of the league every year of his career.
He is 23. Two seasons of sixty-plus points followed by an injured thirty-one-game year is the most consequential open question on this roster, because the version of him that produced 65 points at 21 is a genuine first-line centre and the version that played 31 games is a trade.
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.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 26 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 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 69 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.
Usual linemates

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
- ANA took 45.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.7% — 6.8 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- 424 minutes at five-on-five — 13th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Troy Terry | 56.0% | 50.4% | 45.4% |
| Cam Fowler | 54.0% | 51.9% | 43.3% |
| Ryan Strome | 50.9% | 53.6% | 42.9% |
56.0% together, 50.4% for him apart and 45.4% for Terry apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.
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
104 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 6 of them goals. His median goal came from 29 feet. 34% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 15% from beyond forty.
