2022-23 is the best season either way: 0.436 raw, 0.411 once the league it happened in is levelled out.

Method: each season's raw points per game is multiplied by 3.00 ÷ that season's league goals per team-game, taken from the official final standings. Seasons under 20 games are excluded. It levels scoring climate and nothing else (not role, ice time, teammates, schedule or injury), so treat it as one comparison, not a verdict.

The comparable set.
Chosen by a printed rule, not by feelNHL dossier pool · 1,162 careers
Selection rule. Defencemen only; career games played within ±20% of 271 (or ±10 games, whichever band is wider: 217 to 325); then the five nearest by career P/GP, ties broken by the closest games played. The pool is the 1,162 players in this site's NHL dossier set who own at least one official regular-season game: 37 of them cleared the band.

Similar career shape is not similar player. The rule matches volume and rate only; it knows nothing about era, position within the group, usage or role, and two careers can land on the same line for opposite reasons.

Insights
NHL Edge tracking.
Measured puck and player trackingNHL Edge tracking · api-web.nhle.com · coverage from 2021-22 · fetched 2026-08-17
No Edge tracking on file for Juuso Välimäki. The league publishes Edge for skaters from 2021-22 onward, and only for players it tracked in the covered season. Nothing is drawn here as a zero, because the absence is a coverage fact rather than a measurement.
The shot map.
Where his shots came from, in the league's own areasNHL Edge shot-location detail · api-web.nhle.com · fetched 2026-08-18
No Edge shot-location detail on file for Juuso Välimäki. The league publishes it for skaters it tracked in the covered season, and Juuso Välimäki is not in that set for 2025-26. Nothing is drawn as a zero, because an absence from the feed is a coverage fact rather than a measurement.

Juuso Välimäki has faced 50 goaltenders in this dataset but none of them for the 20 shots on goal a published rate requires here. The counts exist; the rates would be noise, so they are not printed.
