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 provides secondary scoring.
TOI averages around 15:00 per game.
Deployed mostly at ES and PP - rarely used on the PK.
Average pace. Not a massive threat off the rush. Bulk of his offense comes at ES.
Compete ranges - as does his detail in all three zones.
No issues with three zone awareness. Arriving on time and emptying the tank can be inconsistent and speaks to the range of his detail defensively.
