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, strong, physical defenceman who logs a ton of ice time for the Oilers. Used in all situations. Averaged over 23:00 TOI (overall) including playoffs - in (22/23).
Has a nasty streak. Sometimes crosses the line - but keeps opponents aware in the process.
Long stride. Capable puck mover. Provides better than secondary offense. Has ability to lead the rush on his own or join an an extra layer - 146 hits - 164 shot blocks
At times he looks off his first option and takes too long moving pucks - resulting in turnovers in key areas of the ice. Law of averages at times with the amount of TOI he logs. Sometimes, however, less = more and he could keep things more simple.
