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. The season is still being played, so each rating is projected over all of it: what the player has done so far, plus the games left at a rate taken from his last three seasons and this one. Value is coloured by where it ranks among the 647 ranked skaters whose contract is known. How value is worked out.
The contract
Signed by the Winnipeg Jets on Dec 4, 2023, as an extension of the contract he was on: 3 years and $12M, beginning in 2024-25. It runs through 2026-27, so this is its last season, after which he is an unrestricted free agent.
| Season | Cap hit | Base salary | Signing bonus | Performance bonuses | Paid in all | Clause |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 | $4M | $4.5M | $0 | $4.5M | ||
| 2025-26 | $4M | $4M | $0 | $4M | ||
| 2026-27 | $4M | $3.5M | $0 | $3.5M |
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.

| Dec 4, 2023 | Winnipeg Jets | Extension | 2024-25 to 2026-27 | 3 | $12M | $4M |

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 2026-27 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.
2026-27 analytics
Rating, projected over the full season
2026-27 is still being played, so these are a projection of his whole season, not a count so far: what he has done in 2 games (+0.0 goals above replacement), plus the 66 more he is taken to play, going by how much of his team's games he has played before, at a rate set by his last three seasons and this one. The more he plays, the more this season counts, and by the last game it is simply his season.
Each number is coloured by where it ranks among the 422 ranked forwards: green is in the top fifth and red the bottom fifth, with paler shades in between and amber for the middle. Hover over a tile for its percentile.
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, and the rank beside it is among forwards. A full season is about two-thirds the player and one-third chance.
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
| Forward line | GP | Time | CF% | xGF% | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nino Niederreiter · Vladislav Namestnikov · Alex Iafallo | 2 | 14:17 | 31.8 | 11.6 | 0-0 |
| Nino Niederreiter · Vladislav Namestnikov · Viggo Björck | 1 | 1:19 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0-0 |
| Nino Niederreiter · Adam Lowry · Brad Lambert | 2 | 1:18 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0-0 |
| Nino Niederreiter · Gabriel Vilardi · Viggo Björck | 1 | 0:32 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0-0 |
The lines 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 lines that played a fair amount together. Hover over one for its percentile.
