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.

A big, strong, skilled, goal scoring forward who does his best work from the hash marks down in the offensive zone.
Net front presence. Fantastic hand/eye coordination tipping pucks.
Hard to move off pucks and from high danger areas in the offensive zone.
Not a massive threat off the rush. Finds quiet ice once his team has established control.
50+ goal scorer. Quick catch and release.
Averages over 21:00 TOI. Deployed at ES and PP#1. Almost never used on the PK.
