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.

AVG TOI is up to (21:00) per night in recent weeks.
Used in all situations. On the PP he sets up on his off-side and opens up for one-timers. More of a shoot first approach than distributor. On the PK he's a big body who gets in the lanes.
Skates well. Heavy/Strong. He's difficult to contain going to the net or coming off the wall in the offensive zone. His 3 zone detail at ES is well above average.
The team is 'retooling' and the supporting cast isn't what it was when he had his biggest year offensively in (18/19). If not extended in SJ this is a prime trade target.
