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.

Free agent signing by Detroit in the summer of 2023
Veteran forward. Versatile. Used in all situations.
Averaging 19:27 TOI - 14:34 ES - 1:29 PP - 3:23 PK
Plays with reliable three zone detail. Good skater. Leans shooter more than play maker.
Struggling in face-off circle to start the season. Given the fact he takes key defensive zone draws, especially on the PK, it's an area that requires better results.
Not overly physical, but doesn't shy away. Competes. Willing to block shots in D-zone.
