What moves the range:

Shooting %: expected 13.6% — a hot/cold season swings goals by ±5.8 (pure luck).
Ice time / role: ±7% (line/PP promotion vs demotion) — line & power-play promotion is the biggest upside lever.
Games played: floor assumes 62 (injury), ceiling 82 (full health) vs 77 expected.
Linemates: assist swing of ±11.3 tracks how well his linemates finish his setups.
