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.

Projection: First Pair
Trending: Under NHL Contract
A 2-way/transitional defenceman who is one of the best skaters in the entire NHL. Agile. Quick and fast. Logs huge minutes. Averaged 24:58 TOI in (22/23). Rarely used on the PK. All of his ice time comes at ES and PP#1. Has the ability to outlet pucks and join the rush as an extra layer - or lead the rush on his own and attack offensively.
More of a distributor than a shooter but his shot can not be underestimated.
A mostly area defender / quick to pucks defensively. Gets in the shooting lane / reads the play / credited with 123 shot blocks last season
