At a 29 overall (133rd of 195 centers), the 26-year-old center is fighting for a regular spot on the Vancouver Canucks depth chart.

His best component is defensive impact at 75, with play driving (23) trailing the rest of his game.

His rating fell from 58.8 in 2023-24 to 11 in 2024-25, one of the bigger drops in his 2-season card history.

The contract, $900K through 2026-27, grades Fair: the model's expected value of $1.71M is within $805K of what he is paid.

The Vancouver Canucks have $15.8M of space under the $104M cap this season.

How we rate players: each skater's overall is a percentile (0-100) built from offense, defense, play driving, finishing, power-play and penalty-kill impact against players at the same position; goalies are rated on goals saved above expected. Contract value compares the cap hit with the salary the model expects for that level of production, age and position. Figures are updated as new games and signings arrive.
