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.

TailwindProcess rising: 5v5 ixG/60 0.87 (84th pct league-wide) up on the 3-yr 0.70 — the shot quality is real, so the projected goal rate leans on chances, not a hot %.
RiskAge 36 — modest past-prime drag on scoring rates.

TailwindShot-driving up (5v5 iCF/60 13.67 vs 11.79) — real creation underneath, so don't over-regress the helpers.
TailwindHigh-danger setups up (iHDCF/60 4.34 vs 3.25) — the dangerous chances that turn into primary assists are trending up.
