The Montréal Canadiens right winger carries a 40.8 overall, 222nd of 384 rated wingers, which is roughly league-average for regular NHL minutes.

His profile is unusually even: every component sits between 37 and 51, so there is no single skill carrying the number.

He peaked at 83 in 2022-23 and has not returned to that level since, rating 43.4 last season.

The contract, $3.6M through 2026-27, grades Fair: the model's expected value of $2.98M is within $619K of what he is paid.

His cap hit is the 11th-largest on the Montréal Canadiens NHL roster and uses 3.5% of the $104M ceiling; the club currently has $1.5M 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.
