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
13 goals and 30 assists in 65 games — 43 points, plus-27, at 15:53 a night. He turned 21 during it.
The Finesse Game
The shot chart is the thing to look at, and it is remarkable. The median unblocked attempt of his season came from 13 feet, and 61 per cent came from inside 20 — the closest average shooting distance of any forward in this book.
177 pound winger is not supposed to live there. He gets there anyway, because he arrives at the net without the puck and finds the space between 2 defenders that neither of them thinks is worth guarding.
The skating is quick and the edges are better than the straight-line speed. 30 assists in 65 games says the passing is at least the equal of the finishing.
The Physical Game
The whole limitation, and it is not small. 5-10 and 177 pounds, and there are shifts where a defenceman simply picks him up and moves him. 42 penalty minutes suggests he does not back down, which is admirable and does not change the arithmetic.
He avoids the problem rather than solving it — he plays in motion, and a man who is never standing still is harder to hit.
The Intangibles
The results are excellent and they are earned: 53.3 per cent of the expected goals, 78th percentile, with the expected goals 40.1 to 35.1 in his favour. Unlike most of the plus figures on this roster, his is supported underneath.
8 points in his last 10. He is 21, he was the thirteenth pick, and he is already one of the more interesting small forwards in the league.
The honest uncertainty is a playoff series against a team that decides to hunt him. That question does not get answered in October.
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 two rank him within 6 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.
The same player was graded a second time from his biography and his box score alone, with the measured record withheld. That reading lands 24 points from the numbers; this one lands 6. Across the whole control the two distances come out the same, which is worth knowing in both directions: the arithmetic on both sides of the sighted reading did not buy it any accuracy, and it did not cost it any either.
All three 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.

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.

- The club
- BUF took 51.1% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 53.3% — 2.2 above the club he did it on.

With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tage Thompson | 53.0% | 53.6% | 49.4% |
| Rasmus Dahlin | 56.1% | 51.4% | 53.7% |
| Owen Power | 55.9% | 51.9% | 48.9% |
53.0% together, 53.6% for him apart and 49.4% for Thompson apart. Thompson was worse away from him while his own share held — the pairing was doing more for Thompson 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
159 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 13 of them goals. His median goal came from 12 feet. 61% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 13% from beyond forty.
