Ivan Ivan: our analysis

2024-25 season: 40 GP, 5 G, 3 A, 8 PTS, -9 +/-, 10:02 TOI. WAR 0.2 (298th of 596) · PAL 28, below average.

In 2024-25, Ivan Ivan, 24, posts a PAL Rating of 28 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of 0.2 ranks 298th among 596 regulars, in the top half.

His strengths: defense (65, above average). On the other hand, discipline (12, among the weakest in the league) and offense (25, well below average) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+0.7); his biggest cost: penalties (-0.5).

Contract-wise, his Value score of 48 (fair value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Ivan Ivan's story

Born in Ostrava, Ivan Ivan learned the game within the HC Vítkovice system, progressing through the club’s U16, U18 and U19 ranks. Those formative seasons in the Czech junior pyramid included a brief loan stint in the fourth tier and gave him consistent ice time and offensive output, setting the stage for a move overseas.

In 2019 he moved to North America after being selected in the European draft by the Cape Breton Eagles. His first QMJHL season was interrupted by a return home during the pandemic, but he re-established himself in Cape Breton from 2021 onward. He led the team in points, goals and assists in 2021–22 and then posted a career-high 90 points in 2022–23, finishing among the league leaders in points and assists; his Cape Breton tenure ended with 191 regular-season games and 177 points.

Undrafted by the NHL, Ivan turned pro in 2023 with the Colorado Eagles of the AHL. Solid AHL minutes and production earned him an NHL deal: on 5 March 2024 he signed a two-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche. He made his NHL debut on 9 October 2024 and recorded his first NHL goal on 24 October, with assists from Nathan MacKinnon and Casey Mittelstadt. Over the 2025–26 campaign he split time between the Avalanche — who won the President’s Trophy that season — and extended playoff duty in the AHL, ranking second on his team in Calder Cup playoff scoring.

Internationally, Ivan featured for the Czech youth programmes: U17 in 2018–19, at the 2019 Hlinka Gretzky Cup and with the Czech U20 squad at the 2022 World Junior Championships. Raised an Avalanche fan after playing the club on PlayStation, he plays centre and is known for producing offense through a balanced mix of goals and assists and for the consistent work he brings in the attacking zone.

WAR and PAL ratings, 2024-25

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.
