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
3 goals and 3 assists in 43 games for Buffalo — 6 points at 10:36 a night, minus-11, on 48 shots at 6.25 per cent, and 10 penalty minutes.
38.7 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 426 minutes, the 3rd percentile — the worst mark of any player on this roster. His ice went 12-22 against an expectation of 12.92-20.47, so the goals were a great deal kinder than the chances were.
The Finesse Game
48 attempts at a median of 29 feet, with 32 per cent from inside 20 and 22 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 6.25 per cent. Fifty-seven goals in 456 career games.
3 assists in 43 games, and 140 points in 456 games across eight seasons. He does not create at NHL level, and the offensive career that a tenth-overall pick implies has not happened at any point.
The Physical Game
5-11 and 187. He forechecks honestly without punishing anybody and he does not win pucks on the wall against size.
10 penalty minutes in 43 games and 164 in 456 for his career is a low rate. He does not agitate and he does not retaliate.
The Intangibles
Tenth overall in 2016 by Colorado, out of Penticton, and 456 NHL games and 140 points at 26 across four clubs.
He was signed here in the summer. A tenth-overall pick with 456 NHL games and 140 points is one of the clearest cautionary lines in this edition, and this club is the fourth to try him — on the theory, which is not a bad one, that its system has made more out of less.
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.
- 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 two rank him within 8 points of one another. 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.
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 — 58 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.

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
- BUF took 48.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 38.7% — 10.2 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- 426 minutes at five-on-five — 13th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Victor Olofsson | 35.0% | 41.6% | 49.1% |
| Rasmus Dahlin | 47.7% | 33.4% | 51.7% |
| Connor Clifton | 35.2% | 40.3% | 48.2% |
35.0% together, 41.6% for him apart and 49.1% for Olofsson 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
65 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 3 of them goals. His median goal came from 29 feet. 32% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 22% from beyond forty.
