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): Rookie baseline: projected role (3rd-line C + PP + secondary O; one day could become someone like Couturier) blended with 2025-26 NHL (30 GP) at w=0.50. Per-82 line; GP/availability is separate. Tune here.

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 surge
ixG/60
1.06Q1Q2Q3Q4

ixG/60 finished the year 89% above where it started (0.56 in the first half, 1.06 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Second-half surge
PP ixG/60
2.10Q1Q2Q3Q4

PP ixG/60 finished the year 108% above where it started (1.01 in the first half, 2.10 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Similar & complementary players

Similar makeup Forward
Closest across all seven categories — match % is the whole-profile fit
Complementary Forward
Same position, opposite profile — strong where Stephen Halliday is weak or average, light where he’s strong

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.

TailwindTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 climbed 0.56→1.06 across the year — process trending the right way into next season.
TailwindAge 24 on a single NHL season — projected a development step, not a flat repeat: scoring rates +2% and role +1% toward the mid-20s peak (a young riser improves on last year, not repeats it).

Assists — playmaking & on-ice offense

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