Draft Value vs ADP · 2026-27
Two ways the market can be wrong about a player. Level — we rank him well ahead of or behind where he is drafted. Direction — he is moving against his own last season and his price has not moved with him.
Value and rank computed for Points-only — goals + assists only — no peripherals.

Trend and Move are the change in per-game value across every category this league counts, projected 2026-27 against actual 2025-26 (minimum 20 games played). G+A is shown because it is the number everyone carries in their head, but it is not what the ordering is on: a player can gain points and still slip in a league paying him for hits or blocks, and Biggest mover names the per-game category doing the most work either way. A player with no comparable last season shows no trend rather than a zero.
