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
iSH%
3-yr 6.6812.58Q1Q2Q3Q4

iSH% finished the year 150% above where it started (3.08 in the first half, 14.30 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Above his 3-year rate
1A/60
0.6722-2323-2424-2525-26

1A/60 ran 61% above his 3-year rate last season (0.67 against 0.42).

We project it down
PPP
1922-2323-2424-25H1H226-27

We’re projecting power play points 30% below last season, 27 to 19.

Second-half fade
Blks/60
3-yr 4.894.82Q1Q2Q3Q4

Blks/60 finished the year 34% below where it started (5.99 in the first half, 3.98 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Picked automatically from every chart on this card, ranked by how far each number moved. Each claim is measured off the chart drawn beside it.

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.

TailwindProcess rising: 5v5 ixG/60 0.29 (31st pct league-wide) up on the 3-yr 0.25 — the shot quality is real, so the projected goal rate leans on chances, not a hot %.

RiskRegress points toward his multi-year baseline on team-finishing normalization. · Apples & Ginos Fantasy Hockey
RiskOn-ice SH% hot at 12.4% vs a 9.7% 3-yr mark — teammate finishing regresses (~8% is league-normal), so some assists come off.
TailwindHigh-danger setups up (iHDCF/60 1.03 vs 0.75) — the dangerous chances that turn into primary assists are trending up.
ContextDefenseman — weight transition/PP facilitation over raw 2A; secondary assists read a touch better for D than forwards.
