Value inputsProduction, role, momentum, availability, efficiency, ceiling gap, schedule context, season stats, and recent player box scores. Rafters Value is a free editorial sports ranking with fictional roster points; there are no deposits, payouts, or real-world transactions.
- Top Value Best current blend of score, role, and floor.
- Add Upside or rising role worth acting on.
- Hold Solid profile without urgent movement.
- Watch Useful signal, but role or availability needs proof.
- Fade Current context is too weak for the value board.
- Team context Team names and schedule links are navigation/proof, not team rankings.
- Confidence High/Medium/Low describes how much role, availability, and box-score proof support the call.
- Needs 2 days The player has today’s score; true riser/faller labels appear after one more dated run.
- Quiet board Scores are stable compared with the prior day; verified movement can still return on the next refresh.
- Value Points Fictional roster-value points; Role Value is the role-adjusted player ceiling.

When NHL games pause, this page stays conservative. Roster moves and role reports can shape context, but the value board does not invent risers from stale ice-time data.
