What moves the range:
- Shooting %: expected 5% — a hot/cold season swings goals by ±2.2 (pure luck).
- Ice time / role: ±7% (line/PP promotion vs demotion) — line & power-play promotion is the biggest upside lever.
- Games played: floor assumes 58 (injury), ceiling 79 (full health) vs 73 expected.
- Linemates: assist swing of ±2.3 tracks how well his linemates finish his setups.
