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.

After a slow start to his NHL career - due to some injury setbacks - he ramped up his game in (22/23) playing for the LA Kings - Averaged 15:36 TOI - ES and PP - scored 23G-18A - and finished the season (+10)
Big body but not overly physical - uses his long reach as an advantage
Skating has improved but he's not a burner between the blue lines
Once he does get a head of steam he is difficult to defend driving the middle lane off the puck and has well above average skill with the play on his stick in scoring areas
Ready for more responsibility - could be a 30 goal scorer on current trajectory
