Loading…The 28-year-old Detroit Red Wings left winger sits in rare air, with a 97.5 overall that places 4th among 384 rated wingers league-wide. That makes him the highest-rated player on the Detroit Red Wings roster.
His profile is unusually even: every component sits between 84 and 96, so there is no single skill carrying the number.
Over 9 rated seasons since 2017-18 he has averaged 90.1, peaking at 99.5 in 2025-26; last season's 99.5 was up 3 points.
At $7.88M through 2026-27 before unrestricted free agency, the model rates the deal Underpaid: his expected value is $16.8M, so the Detroit Red Wings save roughly $8.93M a season against his production.
An extension worth $13M a year for 7 seasons (2027-28 to 2033-34) kicks in after that, which the model grades Fair.
His cap hit is the 4th-largest on the Detroit Red Wings NHL roster and uses 7.6% of the $104M ceiling; the club currently has $22.8M in cap space.

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.
