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

all5v5

Assists ran at a 12 pace in the second half after 30 in the first, per 82 games.

Second-half fade

PP ixG/60

PP ixG/60 finished the year 69% below where it started (1.44 in the first half, 0.45 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Above his 3-year rate

Blks/60

Blks/60 ran 78% above his 3-year rate last season (3.39 against 1.90).

Above his 3-year rate

PIMs/60

PIMs/60 ran 54% above his 3-year rate last season (4.59 against 2.99).

SOG

all5v5

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% 9.8% sits near the 10.3% 3-yr mark with 5v5 ixG/60 0.54 (42nd pct league-wide) — goals held close to last year.

RiskShot volume down 20% (5v5 SOG/60 4.48 vs 5.63) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.

RiskAge 38 — modest past-prime drag on scoring rates.
