This Season So Far
The 2025-26 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
2 goals and 1 assist in 21 games for 3 points, even, on 7:46 a night with Ottawa.
26 shots in 21 games. The smallest role available and there is nothing else in the numbers.
The Finesse Game
None at NHL level. 3 points in 21 games is close to his rate across six seasons and his career high is 12 points.
The hands do not function at the required pace and there has never been any suggestion they would.
The Physical Game
6-4 and 226, and this is the job. He fights, he hits, and he is on a roster to be available for the nights that call for it.
21 penalty minutes in 21 games is a very high rate and it is the whole of the contribution.
The Intangibles
Undrafted, five organisations, and a career of being the extra forward.
The projection is 25 games and a minimum contract. On a club with genuine forward depth that is the correct role and the correct price.
The numbers underneath

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.
