What moves the range:

Shooting %: expected 5.3% — a hot/cold season swings goals by ±1 (pure luck).
Ice time / role: ±7% (line/PP promotion vs demotion) — line & power-play promotion is the biggest upside lever.
Games played: floor assumes 17 (injury), ceiling 27 (full health) vs 21 expected.
Linemates: assist swing of ±0.2 tracks how well his linemates finish his setups.
