offenseperipheralsvalue over replacement

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.

Context-adjusted (▲/▼ vs the rate-model baseline): Muted while in Seattle; upside only on a trade to a top-six role.

Metrics worth highlighting

iSH% finished the year 67% above where it started (7.98 in the first half, 13.36 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)
TailwindGoals projected UP: iSH% cratered to 10.3% vs 18.9% 3-yr while 5v5 ixG/60 0.76 (70th pct league-wide) held/rose — the chances say the finishing rebounds toward 13.6%, lifting the goal rate ~35%.
TailwindShot volume up 27% (5v5 SOG/60 5.33 vs 4.19) — volume is the repeatable half, so this raises the goal ceiling.
TailwindAge 22 — still on the up-slope of the scoring curve.

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

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

TailwindShot-driving up (5v5 iCF/60 10.25 vs 9.23) — real creation underneath, so don't over-regress the helpers.
