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

Second-half fade
iSH%
3-yr 10.670.00Q1Q2Q3Q4

iSH% finished the year 85% below where it started (19.48 in the first half, 2.85 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Blks/60 finished the year 73% above where it started (1.63 in the first half, 2.82 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

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)
TailwindProcess rising: 5v5 ixG/60 0.92 (88th pct league-wide) up on the 3-yr 0.81 — the shot quality is real, so the projected goal rate leans on chances, not a hot %.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

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

Regression read — where next year's /60 rate lands and why (process over finishing)
RiskOn-ice SH% hot at 10.6% vs a 7.3% 3-yr mark — teammate finishing regresses (~8% is league-normal), so some assists come off.
TailwindShot-driving up (5v5 iCF/60 13.47 vs 11.69) — real creation underneath, so don't over-regress the helpers.
TailwindHigh-danger setups up (iHDCF/60 4.24 vs 3.79) — the dangerous chances that turn into primary assists are trending up.

TailwindBlocks surging late: Q4 2.71/60 and 2nd-half 2.82 vs a 2.37 season rate (2.53 3-yr) (45th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 2.50/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
