Where the points come from
25% of his points earned came from appearance. No single source dominates, though bonus tends to follow whichever one leads. 24 earned, 21 net
Are the returns real?
Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 243 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.
Across 1 full season on record he has finished below expectation every time.
Goals and assists minus xGI, per season. Positive means he finished above the chances he had.
Defensive Contribution
He averages 2.7 against a line of 10, so DefCon is not a realistic source of points for him.
