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.
Regression read — where next year's /60 rate lands and why (process over finishing)
ContextFinishing looks earned: iSH% 11.9% sits near the 10.9% 3-yr mark with 5v5 ixG/60 0.91 (88th pct league-wide) — goals held close to last year.
RiskShot volume down 29% (5v5 SOG/60 6.90 vs 9.73) — volume is the repeatable half, so this caps the goal ceiling.
TailwindTrajectory: 5v5 ixG/60 climbed 0.82→1.00 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)
TailwindPP role projected up: 0.6→0.9 PP TOI/gp (same coach (Travis Green) — carries the elevated finish (2nd half 1.0, Q4 1.2) over the full-year 0.6) — the biggest PPP lever.
RiskPP finishing ran hot (14.3% vs 8.0% 3-yr) with flat PP chances (PP ixG/60 2.00) — expect PP goals to cool.

ContextHits role-stable at 5.49/60 (65th pct league-wide) → 5.38 projected.
TailwindBlocks surging late: Q4 2.38/60 and 2nd-half 1.60 vs a 1.34 season rate (1.41 3-yr) (11th pct league-wide) — reads as a real role/confidence step, so projected UP to 1.61/60, weighting the finish over the 3-yr baseline.
