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.

*Total TOI by quarter reconstructs 5v5+PP quarterly totals plus a held-flat season PK/GP — NST has no all-strength quarterly export. Level is accurate; quarter-to-quarter movement comes from 5v5+PP.

Shooting — volume & conversion
How much and how well he shoots — volume (SOG), finishing (% vs chance quality), and the individual shot-quality funnel (iCF ⊇ iSCF ⊇ iHDCF).
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 0.54 (42nd pct league-wide) up on the 3-yr 0.49 — the shot quality is real, so the projected goal rate leans on chances, not a hot %.
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)
RiskOn-ice SH% hot at 11.1% vs a 7.5% 3-yr mark — teammate finishing regresses (~8% is league-normal), so some assists come off.
Power play
PP opportunity and finishing — modelled separately from 5v5.
The blue 26-27 point is our projection. PPG and PPA are the 2 halves of the PPP above them, split by the projection's own goal/assist mix. PP-only, so the halves are exact.

ContextPP role steady at ~1.2 PP TOI/gp.
TailwindPP chance quality up (PP ixG/60 1.40 vs 1.26) — a real process gain, the kind that sustains PP points.

TailwindHits surging late: Q4 2.99/60 and 2nd-half 2.38 vs a 2.01 season rate (2.11 3-yr) (24th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 2.17/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
TailwindBlocks surging late: Q4 1.36/60 and 2nd-half 1.42 vs a 1.07 season rate (1.30 3-yr) (5th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 1.27/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
