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.

Arguably the most valuable defenceman on the Hurricanes roster. Primary ice comes at ES and PK. Matches up against top line opponents at home and on the road.
Involved. Gaps up in the neutral zone. Kills plays with his long reach / range.
Locks onto his man in the defensive zone.
Not the prettiest skater, but he tracks fine in all three zones.
Joins the rush off the puck. Adds an extra layer offensively.
Jack of all trades. Touches all areas of the game. Crucial to team success.
Incredibly, he hasn't had a minus (-) year defensively his entire NHL career.
