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

The charts that move this projection — where he broke from his own 3-year rate, where the season split in half, and where we’re taking the number next year
Second-half fade
PP ixG/60
3-yr 1.530.78Q1Q2Q3Q4

PP ixG/60 finished the year 60% below where it started (2.65 in the first half, 1.06 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Above his 3-year rate
iSH%

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.

TailwindProcess rising: 5v5 ixG/60 0.36 (34th pct league-wide) up on the 3-yr 0.27 — the shot quality is real, so the projected goal rate leans on chances, not a hot %.
ContextTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 fell from 0.39 (1st half) to 0.31 (2nd).

TailwindProject Hutson as a rostered WAS PP-contributing D but start him on PP2 (cap early PPP); flag upside if he takes the PP1 QB job.
RiskOn-ice SH% hot at 11.9% vs a 9.4% 3-yr mark — teammate finishing regresses (~8% is league-normal), so some assists come off.
TailwindHigh-danger setups up (iHDCF/60 0.73 vs 0.47) — the dangerous chances that turn into primary assists are trending up.
ContextDefenseman — weight transition/PP facilitation over raw 2A; secondary assists read a touch better for D than forwards.
