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.

Wennberg is a player who is making too much money for his output offensively ($4.5M) - but he does play a variety of roles for Seattle.
Good size. Plays with pace. Most of his offense comes from the perimeter. Not over powering physically. Willing to get in shooting lanes and block shots.
Through 55GP, Wennberg averaged 18:40 TOI and was being deployed in all situations. He chips in with secondary offense (8G-14A).
Pending UFA with a ten team no trade clause in his contract.
Middle six forward / leaning third line.

Wennberg is proving to be a valuable player for the Kraken.
He averages over 18:00 TOI - deployed in all situations.
Plays fast. A motion player who is mostly creative from the perimeter, but does find pucks around the crease and below the goal line on occasion.
Trusted defensively. Wins over 50% of his draws. Blocks shots. Uses his quickness and long reach as advantage keeping opponents to the outside.
Third line skill set overall - but playing second line minutes - Secondary layer of offense.
