Contract
His cap hit for the whole season, set against what he did in the regular season. Lower is better value. In a season still being played the cost per point starts high and falls as the games add up. He rated at or below a spare-part player, so there is no cost per goal to show. Value is coloured by where it ranks among the 718 ranked skaters whose contract is known. How value is worked out.
The contract
Signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sep 29, 2022, as a new contract: 2 years and $2.8M, beginning in 2022-23. It runs through 2023-24, so this is its last season, and his extension takes over. His next contract is already signed: an extension with the Washington Capitals on Mar 6, 2024, 5 years and $23M at $4.6M a season, beginning in 2024-25.
| Season | Cap hit | Base salary | Signing bonus | Performance bonuses | Paid in all | Clause |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-23 | $1.4M | $750K | $450K | $1.2M | ||
| 2023-24 | $1.4M | $1.6M | $0 | $1.6M |
Each season of the contract, with this one marked. The cap hit is the same every year; what he is paid is not. The pay is as written when the contract was recorded in October 2024, so a later change, such as the rise in the lowest salary for 2026-27, is not shown.
Contracts he has signed
| Signed | Signed by | Kind | Seasons | Years | In all | Cap hit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 6, 2024 | Washington Capitals | Extension not begun | 2024-25 to 2028-29 | 5 | $23M | $4.6M |
| Sep 29, 2022 | Toronto Maple Leafs | New contract | 2022-23 to 2023-24 | 2 | $2.8M | $1.4M |
| Jul 15, 2018 | Toronto Maple Leafs | Entry-level | 2019-20 to 2021-22 signed for 2018-19, slid | 3 | $2.775M | $894K |
Every contract on record for him, newest first, with the team that signed him to it and the day it was signed. The one covering 2023-24 is marked. An extension is signed while the contract before it is still running, often a year ahead. A row with no team or date is a contract known only by its cap hit, most often one signed since October 2024.
2023-24 playoff analytics
Rating
The goals he added to his team's goal difference, compared with a spare-part player given the same ice time. Each part is measured against the league, so zero is an average skater. A full season is about two-thirds the player and one-third chance. A playoff run is too short to rank anyone on.
On the ice
What happened at five-on-five while he was on the ice. What these numbers mean
These are left plain: he has not been on the ice enough to be ranked. That takes at least 200 shot attempts with him out there, about six or seven games, and a quarter of what the busiest skater has. Over a game or two these numbers are mostly chance.
Who he played with
| Defence pair | GP | Time | CF% | xGF% | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| John Carlson · Rasmus Sandin | 1 | 8:33 | 66.7 | 85.9 | 0-0 |
| Nick Jensen · Rasmus Sandin | 1 | 6:37 | 9.1 | 33.9 | 0-0 |
| Dylan McIlrath · Rasmus Sandin | 1 | 3:07 | 57.1 | 67.0 | 0-0 |
| Martin Fehérváry · Rasmus Sandin | 1 | 0:53 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0-0 |
The pairs he spent the most time in at five-on-five, with the team's share of the shot attempts and expected goals, and the goals for and against, while they were out. The two shares are coloured as above, against the league's pairs that played a fair amount together. Hover over one for its percentile.
Chances and finishing
Expected goals adds up how likely each of his shots was to go in, judged by where it came from, what kind of shot it was and whether it was a rebound. All situations, leaving out shots at an empty net.
Each bar shows the share of defencemen he is ahead of, among the 48 who played at least a quarter as much as the busiest in these playoffs.
Where he shot from
Every attempt he took in these playoffs, in all situations, attacking the net on the right. There is a dot for each attempt, bigger for a better chance. "Show as heat map" shades the ice by where the attempts came from. Click a goal for its details.
