Miles Wood: our analysis
2025-26 season: 54 GP, 8 G, 6 A, 14 PTS, -10 +/-, 11:51 TOI. WAR -0.3 (530th of 615) · PAL 3, very poor.
In 2025-26, Miles Wood, 31, posts a PAL Rating of 3 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.3 ranks 530th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
On the other hand, defense (6, among the weakest in the league) and possession (6, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+0.2); his biggest cost: EV defense (-2.8).
A slight dip from 2024-25, when his PAL was 7; his WAR, though, went from -0.7 to -0.3.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 3 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Miles Wood's story
At age 11 Miles Wood was already appearing on a larger stage, taking part in the 2007 Quebec International Pee-Wee Tournament with the Middlesex Islanders — an early sign of the path he would follow through New England hockey. Born in Buffalo and raised in Manchester, Massachusetts, he developed his game locally before moving into prep and collegiate ranks.
Selected 100th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Wood stayed at Noble and Greenough School for two more seasons and then spent one year with Boston College in Hockey East. He chose to turn professional after that freshman campaign, signing a three-year entry-level deal with New Jersey on 8 April 2016 and making his NHL debut the next night.
Wood scored his first NHL goal on 29 November 2016, and the 2017–18 season represented a clear step forward. He recorded a hat trick on 12 November 2017 and finished that regular season with a career-high 32 points, then helped the Devils clinch a playoff spot by scoring the decisive goal in a 2–1 victory on 5 April 2018. He also served a two-game suspension in February 2018 for a boarding incident, and re-signed with New Jersey on a four-year contract ahead of 2018–19.
After eight seasons with the Devils organization he entered free agency and agreed to a six-year, $15 million contract with the Colorado Avalanche on 1 July 2023. The 2024–25 season was hampered by injuries, and following his second year in Colorado he was traded, along with Charlie Coyle, to the Columbus Blue Jackets on 27 June 2025. On 28 September 2026 he was later dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
On the ice Wood presents as a physical winger who finds ways to get to the front of the net and contribute secondary scoring; his most productive campaigns came when that physical presence translated into timely offensive output.

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.
