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.

Vatrano looks like a man on a mission to start the 23/24 season.
He's always provided goal scoring. He's a shooter more than a distributor. He can play quick and fast ... and become a transition threat when skating between the blue lines with the puck on his stick. He's also not shy about chipping pucks deep and pressing the play as F1 on the forecheck.
What's most impressive, so far this year, is his commitment to detail defensively. He finished last season (-29). He' already (+5) this season and being used in a variety of roles.
Vatrano has a lethal one-timer from the weak side flank on the PP. He beats goalies clean from range.
Through his first 14GP he's averaging 18:19 TOI - 13:31 ES - 2:16 PP - 2:31 SH
He's scored 11G - 4A and been credited with 22 hits and 17 shot blocks
He's competing in all three zones and always involved.
