Value Model

Edgework action value · 2025–26Methodology
Estimated surplus vs 5×5 even-strength value — a model estimate, not a verdict. Expected cost is a within-position fit on each player’s 5v5 zone-rate value; it does not credit power-play or penalty-kill production. A special-teams driver (marked ⓘ PP-heavy) can read as an “overpay” here while still earning his deal. How surplus is computed.
