xGF% is his team's share of 5v5 expected goals while he was on the ice, from our own expected goals model; HDCF% counts only high-danger chances (xG of 0.15 or more). IPP is the share of his team's 5v5 goals while he was on the ice that he scored or assisted on. Relative stats compare him with his team when he was off the ice. Goals above expected and ixG/60 use his own shots at all strengths. PDO and OZS% describe luck and deployment, so their bars are grey.

Play styleDefensive depth winger

Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26

Amadio is a reliable, responsible wing who creates turnovers and limits scoring chances against with smart positioning and puck handling. He rarely generates offense through volume or transition play, instead grinding out shifts in a supporting role.

Where he shoots from

Slot 57% · Mid-range 28% · Perimeter 15%(150 unblocked shots)

Strengths

  • Excellent puck management (83rd percentile) limits turnovers and maintains possession
  • Strong defensive impact (69th percentile) through positioning and effort
  • Solid forechecking (59th percentile) creates turnovers in the offensive zone

Watch-outs

  • Minimal shooting volume (10th percentile) limits goal-scoring opportunities
  • Poor rush chances (10th percentile) struggles to enter zones with speed and space

Similar style: Taylor Raddysh, Arshdeep Bains (VAN)

Built from play-by-play, shift data, and NHL EDGE tracking. Zone entries is an estimate (rush chances while he is on the ice) until tracking data is added.

Game Score gives credit for everything a player does in a game. Goals (1.0) and assists (0.7 primary, 0.5 secondary) count most; shots, blocks, hits, takeaways, penalties drawn, faceoff wins, killing penalties, and holding down the other team's chances add to it. Only mistakes subtract: goals against at 5-on-5, giveaways, penalties taken, faceoff losses, and allowing more chances than an average player would. A player who is there to defend or kill penalties is not marked down for not scoring. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
