offenseperipheralsvalue over replacement

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.

Context-adjusted (▲/▼ vs the rate-model baseline): Faded 28 -> ~23. Stay-at-home top-pair D whose offence has not returned, now 32. Outside reads are 26.3 and 19.8 per-84; landed between them rather than chasing the low one. Worth flagging that an earlier D adjustment in this file was calibrated against outside reads of 28.1/28.9 - the newer external number is materially lower, so that anchor is stale and the comparable bets should be revisited.

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% 0.0% sits near the 3.8% 3-yr mark with 5v5 ixG/60 0.18 (19th pct league-wide) — goals held close to last year.
RiskAge 32 — modest past-prime drag on scoring rates.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

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.

TailwindPP chance quality up (PP ixG/60 0.73 vs 0.39) — a real process gain, the kind that sustains PP points.
