What the team got for its cap space in the regular season, counting the players with enough games to be ranked and a known contract. A player's season is worth what teams as a whole paid for one like it, and value is that less his cap hit. A player who changed teams is shared out by the games he played for each.

Roster

Everyone who played for the team this season, with their stats in those games. Cap hit is what a player counts against the salary cap for the whole season, and Value what his season was worth at the going rate less that, once he has enough games to be ranked. A star marks a cap hit a former team pays part of: this team's share is shown, and his value here is worked out from it. CF% and xGF% are a skater's share of the shot attempts and the expected goals while he was on the ice at five-on-five. Rating is goals above replacement: the goals a player added to the goal difference, compared with a spare-part player given the same ice time. For a player who changed teams they cover his whole season. The season is still being played, so each rating is projected over all of it: what the player has done so far, plus the games left at a rate taken from his last three seasons and this one. Each is coloured by where it ranks in the league, as on the player's own page, from green for the top fifth to red for the bottom fifth. Hover over one for its percentile.
