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.

The Flyers clearly benefit from having him back in their lineup after missing over a year dealing with injury.
Big. Rangy. Plays a responsible 200ft game. Takes key face-off in all three zones. Hard to box out around the crease in the offensive zone. Good stick. Leans distributor but also has a quick release. No holes in his game. Plays the right way.
Averages around 20:00 TOI - some nights over 22:00 - deployed in all situations. Matches up against top scorers from other team. Brings better than secondary offense.
