Ian Moore: our analysis

2025-26 season: 67 GP, 4 G, 8 A, 12 PTS, -14 +/-, 13:40 TOI. WAR 0.1 (156th of 325) · PAL 74, very good.

In 2025-26, Ian Moore, 24, posts a PAL Rating of 74 out of 100 (very good), and his WAR of 0.1 ranks 156th among 325 regulars, in the top half.

His strengths: creation (95, among the best in the league), defense (88, among the best in the league) and shooting (74, above average). On the other hand, discipline (24, well below average) and penalty kill (31, below average) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+1.3); his biggest cost: penalties (-1.2).

His WAR went from 0.0 in 2024-25 to 0.1.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 85 (very good contract) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Ian Moore's story

Growing up in Massachusetts, Ian Moore developed his hockey game at St. Mark's School, competing in the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. As a young blueliner he showed the kind of two-way promise that drew attention from NHL scouts during his school and junior years.

Selected in his first year of draft eligibility, Moore went in the third round, 67th overall, to the Anaheim Ducks at the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He continued to sharpen his skills in the USHL with the Chicago Steel for the 2020–21 season before committing to Harvard University, where he played in ECAC Hockey and belonged to the Fly Club while wearing the Crimson sweater.

After completing a four-year collegiate career with Harvard, Moore took the next step toward the professional ranks in the spring of 2025. On 20 March 2025 he signed an amateur tryout with the Ducks' AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls, and produced 5 points in 9 games. That stint led to a two-year entry-level contract with Anaheim, signed on 13 April 2025.

Moore made his NHL debut that same day, appearing for the Ducks in a 4-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. He recorded his first NHL point—a secondary assist—on 16 April 2025 in the Ducks' regular-season finale, a 2-1 overtime defeat to the Winnipeg Jets.

On the ice, Moore is best described as a defenseman who blends defensive responsibility with the ability to support offence when appropriate. His route—from high school to the USHL, through four seasons at Harvard, and quickly into Anaheim's organization—reflects a steady, development-focused progression into the NHL.

WAR and PAL ratings, 2025-26

How we rate →

PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.
