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 fade

all5v5

Assists ran at a 7 pace in the second half after 21 in the first, per 82 games.

Second-half surge

Hits/60

Hits/60 finished the year 79% above where it started (2.66 in the first half, 4.75 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Below his 3-year rate

iSH%

iSH% ran 40% below his 3-year rate last season (4.12 against 6.91).

Top of the league

Blks/60

Blks/60 sits in the 98th percentile league-wide (5.79).

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)

ContextFinishing looks earned: iSH% 4.1% sits near the 6.9% 3-yr mark with 5v5 ixG/60 0.20 (22nd pct league-wide) — goals held close to last year.

RiskShot volume down 16% (5v5 SOG/60 4.13 vs 4.90) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.

TailwindTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 climbed 0.15→0.24 across the year — process trending the right way into next season.

RiskAge 33 — modest past-prime drag on scoring rates.

TailwindHits surging late: Q4 4.43/60 and 2nd-half 4.75 vs a 3.54 season rate (4.06 3-yr) (44th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 3.99/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.

RiskBlocks tailing off: Q4 4.09/60 and 2nd-half 5.25 below the 5.79 season rate — projected DOWN to 5.57/60, weighting the recent decline over the 5.57 3-yr mark.
