Manual baseline: no usable NHL sample to regress, so the line is set from a prospect projection (role, upside comparable, multi-year ceiling) blended with any 2025-26 NHL data. Not an engine regression; edit in adjustments.json.

Context-adjusted (▲/▼ vs the rate-model baseline): [LOW-CONF - 2 NHL GP; mostly a role-based estimate] Rookie baseline: projected role (makes the team, playmaking C; one day could become someone like Jack Hughes) blended with 2025-26 NHL (2 GP) at w=0.05. Per-82 line; GP/availability is separate. SOG raised 128 -> 145: he is a high-volume shooter (10th in NCAA scoring as a sophomore) and the outside read is 164, so this splits the difference rather than adopting it. He is on the manual-baseline path, so deploy bets and PP-tier placement are both inert for him — these set values ARE the projection. Tune here.

ⓘ Limited NHL data (2 GP)

The projection above leans on a small NHL sample plus a role-based estimate. Trend and per-category charts are hidden until there's a fuller season to chart.
