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
30 goals and 49 assists in 65 games — 79 points, minus-14, at 19:25 a night with 7 power-play goals and only 16 penalty minutes. 17 games missed.
His 750th career game and his 691st point.
The Finesse Game
The most naturally gifted player on the roster. He carries the puck at speed better than anybody in the lineup and the hands in tight are exceptional.
234 unblocked attempts, 31 goals, median 30 feet with only 34 per cent from inside 20 and 29 per cent from beyond 40. He scores from range because the release is quick and because he does not much like the traffic.
49 assists in 65 games is a genuinely excellent rate.
The Physical Game
6 foot even, 200, and among the least physically engaged forwards in the league. 16 penalty minutes in 65 games.
He does not forecheck, does not finish checks, and does not go to the front of the net. This has been the argument about him for a decade and it has never once been settled by anything except more points.
The Intangibles
47.9 per cent of the expected goals, 35th percentile, across 976 minutes, with the goals 59 for and 60 against.
That is the worst on-ice goal margin of any Toronto forward and it sits under a 79-point season.
14 points in his last 10, 6 of them goals. He is 30, and the honest read is that he is a point-a-game winger on a club that concedes when he is out there, and no coach has yet worked out how to have the first without the second.
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
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
SightedThe report ranks him 37 points above where the numbers do. It was written with these numbers on screen and departs from them anyway, which makes the gap a judgment rather than an oversight. 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 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 76 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.

one shot; the league's average best is 83.6
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.

- TOR took 46.3% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 47.9% — 1.6 above the club he did it on.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| John Tavares | 50.0% | 44.0% | 46.6% |
| Morgan Rielly | 49.2% | 47.1% | 48.0% |
| Oliver Ekman-Larsson | 49.4% | 47.0% | 47.4% |
50.0% together, 44.0% for him apart and 46.6% for Tavares 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
234 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 31 of them goals. His median goal came from 12 feet. 34% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 29% from beyond forty.
