What moves the range:
- Shooting %: expected 2.8% — a hot/cold season swings goals by ±1.4 (pure luck).
- Ice time / role: ±7% (line/PP promotion vs demotion) — line & power-play promotion is the biggest upside lever.
- Games played: floor assumes 43 (injury), ceiling 60 (full health) vs 54 expected.
- Linemates: assist swing of ±0.5 tracks how well his linemates finish his setups.
