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.

iSH% finished the year 73% below where it started (16.33 in the first half, 4.38 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

SOG/60

SOG/60 ran 25% below his 3-year rate last season (5.94 against 7.97).

Picked automatically from every chart on this card, ranked by how far each number moved. Each claim is measured off the chart drawn beside it.

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 0.88 (85th pct league-wide) up on the 3-yr 0.70 — the shot quality is real, so the projected goal rate leans on chances, not a hot %.
RiskShot volume down 25% (5v5 SOG/60 5.94 vs 7.97) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.
ContextTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 fell from 1.02 (1st half) to 0.71 (2nd) even though shot volume held — a chance-quality dip, not a volume one.
RiskAge 33 — modest past-prime drag on scoring rates.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

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

TailwindPP finishing ran cold (0.0% vs 12.5%) over steady PP chances — PP goals should rebound.

TailwindHits surging late: Q4 5.04/60 and 2nd-half 7.77 vs a 4.79 season rate (3.08 3-yr) (57th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 4.80/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
RiskBlocks tailing off: Q4 0.78/60 and 2nd-half 1.64 below the 1.98 season rate — projected DOWN to 1.82/60, weighting the recent decline over the 2.23 3-yr mark.
