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.

Everything about Benoit's game has gone to a new level in Toronto.
He's been tasked with playing a much larger role than originally projected and answered the call.
Defensive 'D' who is averaging around 16:00 TOI - all of his ice time coming at ES and PK
Plays a heavy game. Through his first 35GP - As of February 7th - he was credited with 101 hits and 53 shot blocks.
Keeps the game simple. Chips pucks to clear the zone if nothing available to outlet stick to stick. Very rarely involved offensively. Big. Strong. Long reach. Average skating / small area agility but he's adapted and contributed a (+2) rating.
Ice time on the rise - skated a season high 22:45 vs Dallas in the game on Feb 7th
Exceptional value. $775k - pending RFA

Nov. 17, 2023 (Updated Nov. 22, 2023)
Contract: $775,000 over 1 year (Cap hit: $775,000)
Position scouted: Left Defense
Age when scouted: 25
Projection: Minor League
Trending: Under NHL Contract
As of November 22nd Benoit had dressed for five games and averaged 13:39 TOI - 12:03 ES - 1:35 PK
Big body. Rangy. Long reach is an asset. Brings a physical element. Willing to get in the lane and block shots.
Skating holds him back from being a reliable NHL regular. When pressured he lacks escape ability in his zone, which effects his puck play. A mostly 'Defensive D'.
