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.

An absolute workhorse who is deployed in all situations.
Average 21:55 TOI in (22/23)
Leans distributor more than shooter. Pounces on loose pucks and has the ability to lead the rush on his own. Off the puck he is the kind of player who provides and extra layer in transition / supporting offensive zone entries. Rotates very well in the defensive zone. Credited with a team leading 147 shot blocks. Doesn't shy away from contact. High end compete.

Complete player.
Close to elite in every category.
Fantastic skater. He's quick to space and very agile. In open ice, with the puck on his stick, he has the ability to lead the rush and gain zone entries / create offense.
Sneaky physical. He will close on opponents and finish his checks.
He has the ability to log (25:00) a night and be deployed in all situations.
