Logan O'Connor: our analysis
2024-25 season: 80 GP, 10 G, 11 A, 21 PTS, -4 +/-, 14:07 TOI. WAR 1.9 (82nd of 596) · PAL 96, elite.
In 2024-25, Logan O'Connor, 30, posts a PAL Rating of 96 out of 100 (elite), and his WAR of 1.9 ranks 82nd among 596 regulars, in the top quarter.
His strengths: defense (100, among the best in the league), penalty kill (100, among the best in the league) and discipline (98, among the best in the league). On the other hand, offense (10, among the weakest in the league) and creation (18, well below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+4.4); his biggest cost: finishing (-2.4).
A clear step forward: his PAL went from 86 in 2023-24 to 96; his WAR went from 1.4 to 1.9.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 99 (exceptional value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Logan O'Connor's story
Born while his father was still playing professionally, Logan O'Connor grew up in Calgary and cut his teeth in the Calgary Royals system, learning the details of a checking winger's role in bantam and midget hockey. As the son of former NHLer Myles O'Connor, he followed a path that combined junior experience with a clear plan to play at the collegiate level.
Selected 194th overall by the Sioux Falls Stampede in the 2013 USHL Entry Draft, O'Connor committed to the University of Denver during his first junior season. He began as a young checking-line forward in Sioux Falls and was elevated to captain the next year, increasing his offensive output and helping the Stampede capture the Clark Cup in the 2014–15 postseason.
At Denver he quickly became a fixture on defensive lines, appearing in every game in both the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons and contributing to Denver's 2017 national title. His junior year brought a team NCHC championship and an All-Tournament Team nod; he had been named captain prior to his would-be senior season but chose to turn pro after his third collegiate season.
Colorado invited him to development camp and on 24 July 2018 he signed a two-year entry-level contract as an undrafted free agent. He started the 2018–19 campaign with the AHL's Colorado Eagles before a late-December recall led to his NHL debut in a loss to the Los Angeles Kings. O'Connor scored his first NHL goal on 27 November 2019 against the Edmonton Oilers and skated in the 2020 playoffs.
Under contract extensions in 2020 and 2021, he netted his first playoff goal on 21 May 2022 versus St. Louis and was part of Colorado's 2022 Stanley Cup-winning roster. Known for a gritty, hard-working approach, his career also includes an unusual run of short-handed goals in October 2023, a first-career hat trick in January 2024, and hip surgeries that sidelined him for stretches; he returned to play in March and later scored a game-winning goal in the first round of the 2026 playoffs. In plain terms, O'Connor's game is built on relentless effort, defensive responsibility and an ability to produce timely offence.

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.

Hockey IQ, 2024-25
Rankings and method →The quality of the player's decisions with and against the puck at 5-on-5, against regulars at the same position (50 = average). PAL measures output; IQ measures how the player plays.
