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.

Scored 21 goals last season but he's struggled offensively to start the 23/24 season.
Ironically, his overall TOI is up - year over year -
Anderson is averaging 17:02 TOI - 13:09 ES - 3:42 PP - 0:10 PK - Middle bumper on PP -
A physical presence who extends plays in the hard areas.
Solid skater. Plays with a presence. Credited with 37 hits and 6 shot blocks in 19GP
Hasn't scored a goal. Only has 2 assists ... but he has directed 42 shots on goal.
Plays hard between the whistles. Makes sure opponents don't take liberties on smaller, skill players on Habs roster. Has enough game to skate on any one of the top three lines.
