Ask the book

2026-27 edition Ask a direct question about this edition of the book — who, how many, how common, which group more — and it is answered with a table computed on this page from the edition’s index: the season line, height and age, the on-ice percentiles, the grades and the traits read out of every report. Ask for a view on named players — what a comparison comes down to, what makes a man — and you get the book’s reading of their own pages, and only those. The model turns your question into a query and phrases the result, or reads the pages it is handed; it never originates a figure, and an answer carrying a figure that is on neither the table nor the pages is withheld. It does not forecast, and it says so when a question is outside what the book holds.

Tables are computed on this page from the 2026-27 edition’s index; readings rest on the players’ own pages; the model never counts. Twenty questions an hour.

This Season So Far

The 2026-27 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 10 assists in 27 games — 17 points, plus-10, at 16:40 a night with 2 penalty minutes. 55 games missed. His 1,016th career game and his 826th point.

The Finesse Game

The release is still quick and the shot selection is sound: 47 per cent of his unblocked attempts from inside 20 feet, median 21, and 7 goals from 57 tries in a quarter of a season.

367 career goals says what the shot was. 10 assists in 27 games says the playmaking has held up better than the finishing.

The Physical Game

6-2, 205, and 2 penalty minutes in 27 games. There is no physical element and there has not been for years.

The body is the whole story now. A hip resurfacing 2 seasons ago cost him most of a year and he has not been durable since.

The Intangibles

370 5-on-5 minutes is a thin sample and it reads badly: 46.2 per cent of the expected goals, 19th percentile, and 44.5 per cent of the shot attempts, seventh.

10 points in his last 10, which is a genuine flourish and the reason nobody is writing him off.

He is 34, the second pick in 2010, and 826 points into a career that was on a very different trajectory before the injuries. On a Dallas club that is deep at centre and expects to play in May, he is now the fourth option and a matter of health rather than ability.

The eye and the numbers

Sighted
Report
38th
Numbers
23rd

The two rank him within 15 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.

Both bars are percentiles among the 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 70 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

2025-26 · 370 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, 2025-26

The club
DAL took 50.5% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 46.2% — 4.3 below the club he did it on.
The role
370 minutes at five-on-five — 10th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Jason Robertson48.4%44.2%56.6%
Miro Heiskanen49.8%44.2%54.7%
Roope Hintz47.8%45.2%57.6%

48.4% together, 44.2% for him apart and 56.6% for Robertson apart. He was the one being carried: the share went with Robertson 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

57 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 7 of them goals. His median goal came from 22 feet. 47% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 14% from beyond forty.
