Counts = projected deployment × projected /60 rate, per 82 GP. Rates regress off the process metric (ixG, shot-driving), not last year's finishing %. PP points = projected PP rate (anchored on the 2nd-half PP1 role, finishing regressed) × projected PP TOI.

Metrics worth highlighting

The charts that move this projection — where he broke from his own 3-year rate, where the season split in half, and where we’re taking the number next year

Second-half surge

BLK

all5v5

Blocks ran at a 56 pace in the second half after 26 in the first, per 82 games.

Second-half fade

PP TOI

PP TOI finished the year 79% below where it started (1.64 in the first half, 0.34 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Above his 3-year rate

PIMs/60

PIMs/60 ran 111% above his 3-year rate last season (1.77 against 0.84).

Above his 3-year rate

ixG/60

ixG/60 ran 41% above his 3-year rate last season (0.89 against 0.63).

SOG

all5v5

The blue 26-27 point is our projection. The bold line is all situations; the muted line under it is 5v5 alone, so the gap between them is his special-teams production. Full seasons are true per-82 counts; the 2025-26 H1/H2 reconstruct all-strength from the 5v5+PP quarterly exports plus the season's held-flat PK/other. The projected 5v5 point is the engine's even-strength share of the total, converted to 5v5 by his own 5v5-to-even-strength split, so overtime and 4-on-4 scoring stays out of it.

Regression read — where next year's /60 rate lands and why (process over finishing)

TailwindGoals projected UP: iSH% cratered to 14.5% vs 21.6% 3-yr while 5v5 ixG/60 0.89 (86th pct league-wide) held/rose — the chances say the finishing rebounds toward 17.2%, lifting the goal rate ~19%.

TailwindShot volume up 18% (5v5 SOG/60 7.33 vs 6.19) — volume is the repeatable half, so this raises the goal ceiling.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

ContextAssist environment looks normal (on-ice SH% 10.3%, IPP 65.2%).

TailwindShot-driving up (5v5 iCF/60 14.65 vs 12.55) — real creation underneath, so don't over-regress the helpers.

TailwindHigh-danger setups up (iHDCF/60 4.68 vs 2.85) — the dangerous chances that turn into primary assists are trending up.

The blue 26-27 point is our projection. PPG and PPA are the 2 halves of the PPP above them, split by the projection's own goal/assist mix. PP-only, so the halves are exact.

RiskHits tailing off: Q4 3.59/60 and 2nd-half 3.72 below the 4.59 season rate — projected DOWN to 4.72/60, weighting the recent decline over the 5.69 3-yr mark.

TailwindBlocks surging late: Q4 4.89/60 and 2nd-half 3.79 vs a 2.82 season rate (2.26 3-yr) (58th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 3.32/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
