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

Hits/60
9.7722-2323-2424-2525-26

Hits/60 ran 64% above his 3-year rate last season (9.77 against 5.97).

Second-half surge
iSH%
3-yr 8.2915.32Q1Q2Q3Q4

iSH% finished the year 40% above where it started (8.32 in the first half, 11.67 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.
Regression read — where next year's /60 rate lands and why (process over finishing)
RiskGoals projected DOWN: iSH% ran hot at 11.1% vs a 8.3% 3-yr mark while 5v5 ixG/60 0.81 (78th pct league-wide) was flat — finishing, not process. Regressing iSH% toward 10.0% pulls the goal rate ~10% down.
TailwindTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 climbed 0.71→0.93 across the year — process trending the right way into next season.

RiskPP finishing ran hot (26.3% vs 15.6% 3-yr) with flat PP chances (PP ixG/60 1.97) — expect PP goals to cool.

TailwindHits surging late: Q4 12.14/60 and 2nd-half 11.46 vs a 9.77 season rate (5.97 3-yr) (85th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 9.08/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
ContextBlocks role-stable at 1.91/60 (30th pct league-wide) → 2.58 projected.
