Pine Net Rating v0.1: goals above replacement per 82 games (+4.6 over his 28). 85% among 469 forwards, 1st line.
2025-26 regular season: 28 games, 422 minutes.

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 2 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.
