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.

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)
TailwindGoals projected UP: iSH% cratered to 6.9% vs 15.2% 3-yr while 5v5 ixG/60 0.89 (86th pct league-wide) held/rose — the chances say the finishing rebounds toward 10.0%, lifting the goal rate ~35%.
TailwindShot volume up 35% (5v5 SOG/60 7.41 vs 5.49) — volume is the repeatable half, so this raises the goal ceiling.
ContextTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 fell from 0.68 (1st half) to 0.55 (2nd) even though shot volume held — a chance-quality dip, not a volume one.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

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

ContextAssist environment looks normal (on-ice SH% 7.5%, IPP 71.5%).
TailwindShot-driving up (5v5 iCF/60 11.24 vs 9.79) — real creation underneath, so don't over-regress the helpers.
TailwindHigh-danger setups up (iHDCF/60 4.60 vs 3.14) — the dangerous chances that turn into primary assists are trending up.

TailwindPP role projected up: 0.3→0.4 PP TOI/gp (same coach (John Hynes) — carries the elevated finish (2nd half 0.5, Q4 0.5) over the full-year 0.3) — the biggest PPP lever.

TailwindHits surging late: Q4 14.58/60 and 2nd-half 14.58 vs a 10.98 season rate (6.13 3-yr) (87th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 9.25/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
TailwindBlocks surging late: Q4 2.78/60 and 2nd-half 2.78 vs a 2.30 season rate (2.53 3-yr) (41st pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 2.48/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
