Last Season
Three goals and 14 assists in 69 games — 17 points, minus-four, at 14:22 a night with 81 penalty minutes.
The Finesse Game
Ninety-four unblocked attempts from a median of 50 feet, 67 per cent from beyond forty, three goals. Thirty points in 159 career games.
Fourteen assists in 69 games is a fair third-pair return and rather more than the draft position suggested was coming.
The Physical Game
Six foot one, 204, and he plays a violent, committed game — he hits everything, blocks shots, and drops the gloves. Eighty-one penalty minutes in fourteen minutes a night is one of the higher rates in this edition.
The skating is heavy and it caps him at a third pair.
The Intangibles
Fifty-two point three per cent of the expected goals, 73rd percentile, and 51.2 per cent of the shot attempts, 69th — the best combined figures of any St. Louis defenceman — across 917 minutes, with the chances 36.7 to 33.5 in his favour.
That is a genuinely good season from a two hundredth overall pick in a sheltered role, and it is worth more than the seventeen points suggest.
Five points in his last ten. He is 26, and on a blue line carrying Fowler at 34 and Parayko at 33 he is the sort of cheap, hard, effective defenceman that makes a cap sheet work.
