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.

Above his 3-year rate
Blks/60

PP SOG/60 finished the year 88% below where it started (15.86 in the first half, 1.89 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

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 10.6% vs a 8.6% 3-yr mark while 5v5 ixG/60 0.72 (64th pct league-wide) was flat — finishing, not process. Regressing iSH% toward 9.5% pulls the goal rate ~15% down.
RiskShot volume down 12% (5v5 SOG/60 6.13 vs 6.99) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.
ContextTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 fell from 0.77 (1st half) to 0.57 (2nd).
RiskAge 34 — modest past-prime drag on scoring rates.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

Regression read — where next year's /60 rate lands and why (process over finishing)
RiskOn-ice SH% hot at 10.8% vs a 8.2% 3-yr mark — teammate finishing regresses (~8% is league-normal), so some assists come off.
RiskAssist gain leans on secondary helpers (2A/60 0.56 vs 3-yr 0.42) — the least repeatable slice; projected back toward baseline.
