Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Big body. Plays with a presence. Rangy. Physical when required. Doesn't shy away from battles
Excellent skater for his stature / especially on straight lines.
His execution with the puck has come a long way from early in his career. Doesn't have a ton of deception. Makes a solid first pass. Has the ability to escape pressure and lead the rush on his own. In (22/23) he was afforded more of a role on the PP and produced 4G-3A. Shoots the puck hard and accurately from range. Veteran '2-way D'.
Averaging 20:19 TOI - 17:11 ES - 0:11 PP - 2:57 to start season. Notice his PP role has been scaled back. On expiring contract.
