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.

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.

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.

TailwindHits surging late: Q4 2.84/60 and 2nd-half 2.25 vs a 2.12 season rate (n/a 3-yr) (26th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 2.06/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.

RiskBlocks tailing off: Q4 2.40/60 and 2nd-half 2.54 below the 2.78 season rate — projected DOWN to 2.75/60, weighting the recent decline over the n/a 3-yr mark.
