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

Blks/60 finished the year 123% above where it started (1.52 in the first half, 3.38 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

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)
RiskGoals projected DOWN: iSH% ran hot at 13.1% vs a 10.5% 3-yr mark while 5v5 ixG/60 0.60 (47th pct league-wide) was flat — finishing, not process. Regressing iSH% toward 11.6% pulls the goal rate ~12% down.
RiskShot volume down 31% (5v5 SOG/60 4.35 vs 6.27) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

TailwindPP role projected up: 0.2→0.2 PP TOI/gp (role tapered late (Q4 0.0 vs 0.2 full-year) — projected toward the softer finish) — the biggest PPP lever.
TailwindPP finishing ran cold (0.0% vs 7.4%) over steady PP chances — PP goals should rebound.

TailwindHits surging late: Q4 6.24/60 and 2nd-half 8.05 vs a 5.34 season rate (4.62 3-yr) (64th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 6.05/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
