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

PPP

Power play points ran at a 2 pace in the second half after 22 in the first, per 82 games.

Second-half fade

PP TOI

PP TOI finished the year 62% below where it started (3.13 in the first half, 1.18 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Above his 3-year rate

PP SOG/60

PP SOG/60 ran 53% above his 3-year rate last season (11.36 against 7.43).

Below his 3-year rate

SOG/60

SOG/60 ran 29% below his 3-year rate last season (6.07 against 8.54).

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% 8.6% sits near the 8.7% 3-yr mark with 5v5 ixG/60 0.67 (58th pct league-wide) — goals held close to last year.

RiskShot volume down 29% (5v5 SOG/60 6.07 vs 8.54) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

PPA

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.

RiskPP role projected down: 2.1→1.6 PP TOI/gp (role tapered late (Q4 1.0 vs 2.1 full-year) — projected toward the softer finish) — the biggest PPP lever.

TailwindPP finishing ran cold (7.1% vs 16.1%) over steady PP chances — PP goals should rebound.
