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.

Below his 3-year rate
1A/60

Second-half surge
SOG/60
3-yr 6.847.13Q1Q2Q3Q4

SOG/60 finished the year 26% above where it started (5.13 in the first half, 6.46 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

Picked automatically from every chart on this card, ranked by how far each number moved. Each claim is measured off the chart drawn beside it.

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)
ContextFinishing looks earned: iSH% 5.2% sits near the 12.8% 3-yr mark with 5v5 ixG/60 0.76 (68th pct league-wide) — goals held close to last year.
RiskShot volume down 16% (5v5 SOG/60 5.75 vs 6.84) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.
TailwindTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 climbed 0.69→0.82 across the year — process trending the right way into next season.

Regression read — where next year's /60 rate lands and why (process over finishing)
TailwindElite hits volume (93rd pct) and role-stable — a bankable hits floor (12.78/60 projected).
TailwindBlocks surging late: Q4 2.38/60 and 2nd-half 1.77 vs a 1.64 season rate (2.27 3-yr) (21st pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 1.91/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
TailwindFights / takes majors (0.30/60) — a real PIM source, valuable in banger and PIM formats.
