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.

Contract: $1,500,000 over 1 year (Cap hit: $1,500,000)
Position scouted: Left Wing
Age when scouted: 31
Projection: Middle Six
Trending: Flat
Veteran forward who averaged just over 16:00 TOI in 21/22 season.
Used RS and on the PP. Does not PK except for clean up duty.
Can create off the rush. Better than average vision and puck touch. On the forecheck he will bump opponents off the play and create turnover chances. Defensive detail is average but not irresponsible. His (+/-) stats are glaring but for a variety of reasons. Not just his play.
Better than average pace.
