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.
Contract Surplus

model expects $2.9M vs $0.9M AAV — a 5v5-value estimate, not a verdict
Below the model’s value/AAV floor — not a headline bargain.
