Blue Value bars mean estimated worth exceeds cap cost; amber means cost exceeds worth. The marker on each bar is break-even. Included shows how many players count in the selected view out of each team's NHL roster.
Only players with a lineup slot, an OVR rating and a usable contract are included. Estimated worth is the going rate for each player's lineup slot at their rating; cap cost is the included players' combined cap hits. Value is worth minus cost, the same figure as the home page's Value column in the Whole roster view.
