Are the returns real?
Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 236 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.
Across 2 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation 1 time and below it 1.
Goals and assists minus xGI, per season. Positive means he finished above the chances he had.
Defensive Contribution
He averages 3 against a line of 10, so DefCon is not a realistic source of points for him.
