Thirteen goals after twenty-four, and a change of club that nobody asked for.

This Season So Far
The 2023-24 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
13 goals and 17 assists in 75 games for New Jersey — 30 points at 14:25 a night, minus-3, with 2 shorthanded goals on 131 shots, converting at 9.92 per cent, and 16 penalty minutes.
52.2 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 918 minutes, the 68th percentile, on a club that won 52 games. His ice went 36-43 against an expectation of 40.94-37.48 — five goals of scoring missing and six more conceded than the chances predicted.
It followed a 24-goal season, and the fall came with a demotion down the lineup as New Jersey’s young forwards passed him.
The Finesse Game
131 attempts at a median of 26 feet, 41 per cent from inside 20, off a shot measured at 94.3 mph — the 74th percentile.
53 goals in 205 career games is a genuinely good rate, and the shot is hard enough to beat goaltenders from the top of the circle. The passing is ordinary — 53 assists against 53 goals — and he is a finisher rather than a creator.
The Physical Game
6-2 and 196 and he is not a physical forward — 43 penalty minutes in 205 games.
The skating is the limitation: 21.7 mph is the 21st percentile and 2.40 miles a game is the 37th. On a club whose identity is forechecking speed, that is an awkward fit, and he will have to score to justify the ice.
The Intangibles
A hundred and forty-first overall in 2018, out of Belarus, and a fifth-round pick with 53 NHL goals — a very good return on the pick.
He is 25 and arrived in the trade that sent Tyler Toffoli to New Jersey. Calgary swapped a proven 30-goal scorer at thirty-one for a 25-year-old who has scored 24 once, which is a rebuilding trade made by a club that has not admitted it is rebuilding.
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 passing is ordinary — 53 assists against 53 goals — and he is a finisher rather than a creator.”

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe numbers rank him 39 points above where the report does. 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. 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 120 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 59 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.

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, 2022-23
- The club
- NJD took 56.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 52.2% — 3.9 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 918 minutes at five-on-five — 50th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dougie Hamilton | 52.8% | 51.9% | 56.8% |
| Jonas Siegenthaler | 47.8% | 54.8% | 57.6% |
| Damon Severson | 59.3% | 48.7% | 59.8% |
52.8% together, 51.9% for him apart and 56.8% for Hamilton apart. Hamilton was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for 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
180 unblocked shots in 2022-23, 14 of them goals. His median goal came from 18 feet. 41% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 21% from beyond forty.
