This Season So Far
The 2022-23 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
12 goals and 14 assists in 82 games — 26 points, a minus-9 and 24 penalty minutes at 12:37 a night, the 19th percentile among forwards.
50.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 984 minutes, the 59th percentile, and 53.8 per cent of the attempts, the 80th.
Thirteen playoff games for one assist.
The Finesse Game
2.55 takeaways per 60 is the 20th-most of the 393 qualified forwards — the best figure on this page and the reason he plays. 1.68 giveaways is the 61st percentile, so the ledger is strongly positive.
8.24 shots per 60 is the 65th percentile and twelve goals on 142 shots is 8.5 per cent, the 24th. 51 per cent came from the slot at a median of 24 feet — ordinary places, poor conversion.
1.41 even-strength points per 60 is the 27th percentile and 0:33 a night on the power play. Twenty-six points is what twelve minutes and a bad shooting year produce together.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 205. 7.37 hits per 60 is the 78th percentile among forwards and 0.87 blocks is the 9th — he forechecks and he does not defend, which at his ice time is the assignment.
8.4 bursts over 20 mph per 60 is the 79th percentile and 9.83 miles per 60 is the 65th, against a 22.7 mph top speed at the 68th. Everything about the skating is above average and nothing about it is exceptional.
43.5 per cent of his even-strength time was spent in the attacking zone, the 89th percentile. He is a fourth-liner who spends his shifts in the other team’s end.
0.70 penalties taken per 60 is the 56th percentile — twenty-four minutes in eighty-two games.
The Intangibles
Sixty-seventh overall in 2014, the third round, and 282 NHL games at 26 with 94 points.
Four Carolina seasons at thirteen minutes and one here. The record is a bottom-six forechecker who has never been given a scoring role and has never asked for one.
With Ryan McLeod he took 58.8 per cent of the chances over 388 attempts and 49.1 without him. Four hundred attempts is a fragment; it is also the best number either man posted.
Taking the puck off people at the 20th-highest rate in the league at twelve minutes a night is an unusual and undervalued thing. Nothing else on this page is above average and that one is near the top of it.
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.
- measuredcomputed here from the season's own data
- a strengthread out of the prose, and claimed
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 14 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 649 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 60 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, 2021-22
- The club
- EDM took 51.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.9% — 0.4 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 984 minutes at five-on-five — 59th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evan Bouchard | 53.0% | 49.4% | 52.7% |
| Derek Ryan | 49.5% | 51.9% | 54.4% |
| Darnell Nurse | 56.8% | 48.0% | 52.2% |
53.0% together, 49.4% for him apart and 52.7% for Bouchard apart. He was worse away from Bouchard, who was no better away from him — he needed that pairing more than Bouchard did.
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
187 unblocked shots in 2021-22, 12 of them goals. His median goal came from 12 feet. 44% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 19% from beyond forty.
