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.

AVG TOI (20:00) . Signed through 2022 / 2023. AAV $4.0 million.
Primary minutes at ES and on the PP. Secondary / clean up duty on the PK.
Excellent skater. Leans 2-way / transitional 'D' . Ability to elude pressure by getting to pucks first and skating them out of his zone. His outlets are generally clean. Second layer offensively.
When he tries to do too much he runs into issues turning pucks over in key areas of the ice.
Not easy to play against. Willing to get in the grill of opponents and battle.
There are nights that he will frustrate with his overall detail but the good outweighs the bad.
