So far: 0 pts in 0 games. The team has played 2 of 84 games. Projected pace: 0.32 pts per game (last season: 0.33).
Three straight seasons of growth. Since 2018, of 97 players in that spot, 23 kept improving the next season; on average, their pace fell back to 90% of their best season.
The projection follows last season's pace. Tested on 2,265 player seasons (2022-23 to 2025-26): average miss of 9 points over 82 games; for players at 0.9 points per game and up, it ran 5 points high on average.
Trend

- PAL Rating: 62 → 8
Outlook, age included
↓ DecliningAge 32: the age when production usually declines
This is only a projection. It extends the pace of recent seasons, pulled toward the league average and adjusted for age. It knows nothing about future injuries, trades, or line and power-play changes. About one player in five finishes outside the range. The trend is a hint, not a verdict.

WAR, 2025-26
