Methodology
These are projections based on:
- Multi-season impact at 5v5 and special teams,
- Recent trajectory (injury, usage, form),
- Positional balance & role fit,
- Small-ice tournament history where applicable.
We’ll adjust as camps, injuries, and federation announcements roll in. For deeper context, try:
- Leaderboards to see who’s surging,
- Player Compare for head-to-head debates,
- Shot Quality Snapshot to understand finishing/creation patterns.
