Team status comes from our power rating (points percentage, goal differential, and 5v5 expected goals share, leaning on last season until a team has played enough games): top 10 Contender, bottom 10 Seller once teams have played 20 games (Bubble before that). A contender's six best players by projected WAR are marked Core and shown faded, since contenders rarely move them. Cap fit is the share of salary the selling team would need to retain (50% maximum). Fills is his percentile at his position in the team's weakest category he helps. WAR is PuckSleuth's projection per 82 games; Surplus compares the cap hit with our market estimate. Buy-low: his underlying play (5v5 expected goals share and chance quality) ranks well above his results (goal share and points), with bad luck behind the gap.
