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.

Veteran forward who has found a role in the top six of a rebuilding Hawks team.
Off to an excellent start in 23/24
Averaging 17:18 TOI at ES and PP#1
His pace is barely adequate for today's NHL game but he makes up for it with his hockey sense and unique three zone approach.
Continues to find a way to get under the skin of opponents. Has a role as a weak side distributor and net front presence on the PP. Monitor consistency and if, at this stage of his career he can log these kind of minutes.
