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

1A/60

1A/60 finished the year 71% below where it started (0.52 in the first half, 0.15 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Second-half fade

all5v5

Assists ran at a 9 pace in the second half after 18 in the first, per 82 games.

We project it down

PPP

We’re projecting power play points 29% below last season, 7 to 5.

We project it up

all5v5

We’re projecting goals 27% above last season, 11 to 14.

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% 8.4% sits near the 9.6% 3-yr mark with 5v5 ixG/60 0.79 (74th pct league-wide) — goals held close to last year.

RiskShot volume down 29% (5v5 SOG/60 5.85 vs 8.29) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.

RiskAge 33 — modest past-prime drag on scoring rates.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense
