Vincent Iorio: our analysis

2025-26 season: 6 GP, 0 G, 0 A, 0 PTS, 0 +/-, 13:05 TOI. WAR -0.3 (274th of 325) · PAL 2, very poor.

In 2025-26, Vincent Iorio, 23, posts a PAL Rating of 2 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.3 ranks 274th among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.

On the other hand, possession (6, among the weakest in the league) and discipline (10, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), no component is positive; the costliest: penalties (-0.9).

Contract-wise, his Value score of 12 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Vincent Iorio's story

Growing up in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Vincent Iorio switched from soccer to organized hockey around age six and was moved from forward to defence early on because of how he handled the puck. That early shift set the tone for his development as a playmaking blueliner.

He spent a season with the Burnaby Winter Club before heading to Shattuck‑Saint Mary’s in Minnesota for his bantam years. Despite plans that once pointed toward American college hockey, Brandon selected him 27th overall in the 2017 WHL bantam draft. He also represented British Columbia at the 2017 WHL Cup and was a late pick in the 2018 USHL draft by the Green Bay Gamblers.

Iorio joined the Brandon Wheat Kings as a 15‑year‑old and was among the youngest skaters in the WHL in 2018‑19. After a quiet rookie campaign, he improved his offensive output the next season and earned team recognition for sportsmanship and scholastic achievement in 2020. The pandemic‑shortened 2020‑21 season saw him remain productive over fewer games, and Washington drafted him in the second round, 55th overall, in 2021; he signed a three‑year entry‑level contract with the Capitals that October.

Professionally he was assigned to Hershey in the AHL, then called up by Washington and made his NHL debut the night after his recall, recording an assist. He made his playoff debut in the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs but left the opener with an injury and later returned to Hershey for Calder Cup play. In October 2025 Washington placed him on waivers; San Jose claimed him and he appeared in games with the Sharks before being put on waivers again and claimed by the New York Rangers on 31 January 2026. He was assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack, the Rangers’ AHL affiliate, prior to the 2026‑27 season.

Iorio’s game is marked by his poise with the puck on the back end and his tendency to generate plays off the blue line. His trajectory traces steady increments in responsibility and production, from a teenage import in the WHL to a defender shuttling between the AHL and NHL as an organizational depth piece.

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.
