Market value is what the league pays a forward at his rating percentile this season, from 386 contracts; in 2026-27 dollars against a $104M ceiling. Positive value is the share of 2,000 simulated futures over his 3 remaining years in which that value meets his cap hit.
The number on each bar is his percentile among league forwards with 200 or more minutes at 5-on-5 (special teams: 30 or more minutes on the unit); each block prints the size of that group. Higher is better on every bar; chances against are inverted so 90% always reads well.

Written about him
The Ice Time Michael Misa Is Missing Is Mostly Not Even Strength
Alexander Wennberg averaged 20:27 a night across 80 games last season and Michael Misa averaged 12:49 across 45. Hockey Reference splits that 7:38 gap three ways: 3:19 of it is even strength, 2:11 is power play and 2:08 is the penalty kill, where Misa's column reads 0:00. Every projection on file moves Misa into Wennberg's job. Most of the ice time attached to that job is not the part a promotion delivers.
Of Alexander Wennberg's Twenty And A Half Minutes A Night, Five And A Half Came On Special Teams
Alexander Wennberg scored 55 points in 80 games last season and averaged 20:27 a night. Three minutes twenty of that was power play, second on the whole roster behind Macklin Celebrini, and two minutes eight was penalty kill. The demotion every projection has him taking is an even-strength demotion, and both published power-play projections keep him on the first unit. The number that threatens the 55 is a 19.4 percent shooting rate against a career mark of 11.4 across 869 games.
