Top-line role: strong linemates against the other team's best.

QoT averages the season xGF% of Heiskanen's 5v5 teammates; QoC averages how much of their team's ice time Heiskanen's opponents get, so a high QoC means facing top lines. Both are weighted by time shared on the ice, lean on last season for small samples, and are ranked within forwards or defence.
