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.

ixG/60 finished the year 60% above where it started (0.55 in the first half, 0.89 in the second). The projection leans on how the season ended, so the second half counts for more.

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)
RiskGoals projected DOWN: iSH% ran hot at 23.3% vs a 13.3% 3-yr mark while 5v5 ixG/60 0.65 (56th pct league-wide) was flat — finishing, not process. Regressing iSH% toward 17.5% pulls the goal rate ~22% down.
TailwindTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 climbed 0.55→0.89 across the year — process trending the right way into next season.

RiskOn-ice SH% hot at 12.4% vs a 9.2% 3-yr mark — teammate finishing regresses (~8% is league-normal), so some assists come off.
