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.

Metrics worth highlighting

The charts that move this projection — where he broke from his own 3-year rate, where the season split in half, and where we’re taking the number next year

Second-half fade

PP TOI

PP TOI finished the year 50% below where it started (2.07 in the first half, 1.03 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Second-half fade

PP SOG/60

PP SOG/60 finished the year 64% below where it started (16.53 in the first half, 5.95 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

PP TOI

TOI → 13.71: one NHL season — role grown +7% toward a sophomore workload
5v5 TOI → 12.38: same coach (Ryan Warsofsky) — carries the elevated finish (2nd half 11.6, Q4 12.5) over the full-year 11.4; one NHL season — role grown +7% toward a sophomore workload
PP TOI → 1.09: role tapered late (Q4 0.7 vs 1.2 full-year) — projected toward the softer finish

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)

ContextTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 fell from 1.21 (1st half) to 0.76 (2nd).

TailwindAge 19 — still on the up-slope of the scoring curve.

TailwindAge 19 on a single NHL season — projected a development step, not a flat repeat: scoring rates +10% and role +7% toward the mid-20s peak (a young riser improves on last year, not repeats it).

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

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