Contract

$618KCap hitends in 2014, then RFA

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.

The contract

Signed by the Atlanta Thrashers on Mar 15, 2011, as an entry-level contract: 3 years and $1.855M, beginning in 2011-12. It runs through 2013-14, so this is its last season, after which he is a restricted free agent.

Season	Cap hit	Base salary	Signing bonus	Paid in all
2011-12	$618K	$525K	$58K	$583K
2012-13	$618K	$550K	$60K	$610K
2013-14	$618K	$600K	$63K	$663K

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.

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 2013-14 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.

Rating

-0.2Goals above replacementsix goals are worth about one win

0.0Wins above replacementgoals above replacement divided by six

-0.2Goals above averagethe five parts below added up

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. He has played fewer than 20 games, too few to be ranked. Before 2023-24 the NHL timed events less exactly, and differently from rink to rink, so expected goals for this season are rougher than for recent ones.

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.

The two shares are coloured as above, against the league's pairs that played a fair amount together. Hover over one for its percentile.
