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.

Depth defender in Montreal
Veteran 'utility' player who has also taken some shifts at forward in the past
In (22/23) he dressed for 46 games and averaged 13:30 TOI at ES and PP ... rarely used on the PK - Good skater - quick to space - reliable IQ - undersize / area defender - isn't going to lean on opponents but he will get in the shooting lanes to block shots (25 hits / 51 blocks)
Leans 2-way / transitional 'D'
Better suited as a #7 than a regular - distributor more than shooter.
