2026-27 projection

Games
49

So far: 0 pts in 7 games. The team has played 0 of 84 games. Projected pace: 0.15 pts per game (last season: 0.21).

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.

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.

Player ratings, 2025-26

All ratings →

Fourteen ratings from 0 to 100, computed from data (play-by-play, NHL EDGE, PickALeague analytics), never by hand. Each compares the player with others at the same position, over several seasons. 75 = established NHL player, 87 = 90th percentile, 95+ = elite. OV describes the abilities a player has shown over several seasons; it is not a forecast: for next season, last season's performance (PAL) tells you as much.

WAR and PAL ratings, 2025-26

How we rate →

PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.

Player tracking (NHL EDGE)

League EDGE leaderboards →

NHL EDGE measures what the eye can't put a number on: skating speed, shot power, distance covered and time spent in each zone, captured by chips in the puck and the shoulder pads. The percentile places the player within the league: 90th means better than 90% of players.
