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.

Position scouted: Left Defense
Age when scouted: 29
Projection: Second Pair
Trending: Under NHL Contract
A big body defender who leans 'Defensive D' but does provide some offense occasionally
In (22/23) he averaged 16:17 TOI. All of his ice time comes at ES and the PK. Average plus skater. Long reach - bodies up but not punishing - effective taking away time and space - has the ability to play both sides (LD and RD) and match-up versus opponents top six forwards
In the past he has been described as 'efficient' - remains accurate
No frills - steady - recognizes his limitations - should help elevate the Canucks PK
143 hits / 96 shot blocks last season in Seattle - likely to see second pairing minutes in Van

Trending: Up
More of a role at ES and on the primary PK in Seattle. His TOI has spiked this season (17:05)
Big body defender with long reach. He takes away time and space effectively.
The best way to describe this player is 'efficient'. He plays within his skill set.
Considering he isn't used on the PP his offense is a bonus. A left shot 'D' who is comfortable playing his off-side. It assists him with opening up and seeing the entire width of the ice. Defending on the right side is not an issue. He's not mean but he's hard to play against. A defense first approach. Not a puck rusher. As noted / can play both LD and RD
