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.

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% 9.9% sits near the 13.0% 3-yr mark with 5v5 ixG/60 0.58 (45th pct league-wide) — goals held close to last year.
RiskShot volume down 20% (5v5 SOG/60 5.73 vs 7.15) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.
RiskAge 35 — 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.

Regression read — where next year's /60 rate lands and why (process over finishing)
RiskIPP spiked to 100.0% vs 62.5% 3-yr — point participation this far above baseline rarely holds; assist share likely gives a little back.
RiskAssist gain leans on secondary helpers (2A/60 0.95 vs 3-yr 0.38) — the least repeatable slice; projected back toward baseline.

RiskPP role projected down: 3.7→3.3 PP TOI/gp (reverts toward the 3-yr 2.5) — the biggest PPP lever.
TailwindPP finishing ran cold (3.5% vs 15.0%) over steady PP chances — PP goals should rebound.
