offenseperipheralsvalue over replacement

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.

Context-adjusted (▲/▼ vs the rate-model baseline): Held modest — Calgary is a league-worst team-SH% environment (no blanket boost).

PP TOI finished the year 31% below where it started (3.28 in the first half, 2.25 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

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.

TailwindRaise goal/point ceiling on elite rush generation plus PP support. · Apples & Ginos Fantasy Hockey
ContextHold the shot-based goal boost modest; do not project a full breakout given weak linemates. · Corey Sznajder (All Three Zones)
TailwindGoals projected UP: iSH% cratered to 6.6% vs 8.9% 3-yr while 5v5 ixG/60 0.84 (80th pct league-wide) held/rose — the chances say the finishing rebounds toward 7.5%, lifting the goal rate ~16%.
TailwindShot volume up 11% (5v5 SOG/60 8.75 vs 7.90) — volume is the repeatable half, so this raises the goal ceiling.
TailwindAge 23 — still on the up-slope of the scoring curve.

Regression read — where next year's /60 rate lands and why (process over finishing)
RiskIPP spiked to 74.3% vs 57.5% 3-yr — point participation this far above baseline rarely holds; assist share likely gives a little back.
TailwindShot-driving up (5v5 iCF/60 17.85 vs 15.76) — real creation underneath, so don't over-regress the helpers.
TailwindHigh-danger setups up (iHDCF/60 3.34 vs 2.27) — the dangerous chances that turn into primary assists are trending up.
RiskAssist gain leans on secondary helpers (2A/60 0.58 vs 3-yr 0.13) — the least repeatable slice; projected back toward baseline.

TailwindHits surging late: Q4 2.32/60 and 2nd-half 1.59 vs a 1.27 season rate (1.73 3-yr) (12th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 1.70/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
RiskBlocks tailing off: Q4 0.46/60 and 2nd-half 0.98 below the 1.21 season rate — projected DOWN to 1.15/60, weighting the recent decline over the 1.65 3-yr mark.
