Lines and pairings

The three forwards and the two defencemen who spent the most time on the ice together at five-on-five, and how the team did while they were out: its share of the shot attempts and of the expected goals, and the goals for and against. Time is minutes and seconds across the season.

Value for money

$68MCap space usedthe cap hits of its 22 ranked players
$26MWorth at the going rate0.0 goals above replacement
-$42MValue31st of 32 · worth minus cap hit; below zero is overpaid

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. How value is worked out

Dead cap

What the team counted against the cap this season for players who were no longer on it: $6.27M in all. Salary kept on 1 of the 3 contracts a team may keep part of at once, $1.5M of the $15.6M allowed (15% of the cap). What dead cap is

Player Why Counts
Oliver Ekman-Larsson Bought out $4.767M Bought out in June 2023; runs to 2030-31
Tyler Myers Salary retained $1.5M Traded to Dallas in March 2026

Draft picks

Roster

Everyone who played for the team this season, with their stats for it. Colours show where each number ranks in the league, from green (top fifth) to red (bottom fifth). Hover over a number for its percentile.

Cap hit is what a player counts against the salary cap this season. A star beside it means a former team pays part of it, and the amount shown is this team's share. Value is what his season was worth at the going rate, minus his cap hit. It appears once he has played enough to be ranked.

CF% and xGF% are the team's share of the shot attempts and expected goals while he was on the ice at five-on-five. Rating is goals above replacement: the goals he added to his team's goal difference, compared with a spare-part player who played the same minutes. For a player who changed teams, these numbers cover his whole season. The season is still being played, so each rating is projected over the whole season: the games played so far, plus the games left at the rate of the last three seasons and this one.
