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.

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)
TailwindProcess rising: 5v5 ixG/60 0.23 (27th pct league-wide) up on the 3-yr 0.17 — the shot quality is real, so the projected goal rate leans on chances, not a hot %.
TailwindShot volume up 46% (5v5 SOG/60 4.57 vs 3.13) — volume is the repeatable half, so this raises the goal ceiling.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

Primary vs secondary helpers, plus the on-ice offense and luck signals underneath them.

ContextAssist environment looks normal (on-ice SH% 10.1%, IPP 32.8%).
TailwindShot-driving up (5v5 iCF/60 10.28 vs 8.17) — real creation underneath, so don't over-regress the helpers.
RiskAssist gain leans on secondary helpers (2A/60 0.55 vs 3-yr 0.37) — the least repeatable slice; projected back toward baseline.
ContextDefenseman — weight transition/PP facilitation over raw 2A; secondary assists read a touch better for D than forwards.
