Value Model
Edgework action value · 2025–26
Prices established production (two seasons)at the market’s own pay curve, in today’s cap dollars — not term, growth, aging, or negotiation. How this works
Contract Surplus
+$10.5Munderpaidstructural — entry-levelone-season rating
Produces like #8 of 118 priced defensemen on 2025-26 alone (one qualifying season), paid like the #135 — $1.0M.
market pays $11.5M at that rank vs $1.1M in 2026-27 dollars
2025-26 alone: #18 of 108
one-season rating — the blend rests on 2025-26 only (he qualified in one of the two blend seasons); wider uncertainty than a two-season read
AAV $1.0M · 1.0% of cap at signing · $1.1M in 2026-27 dollars
Below the model’s value/AAV floor — not a headline bargain.
