Cap efficiency

2025-26 scoring per $1M of 2026-27 cap hit.

A player who just signed an extension is measured against the production that earned it, so recent signings sit low here by construction. Entry-level contracts sit high for the mirror reason. Minimum 40 games played.

Cap hit is the 2026-27 charge. Club control is the seasons remaining before the player can leave, counting any extension already signed — so a player still on an entry-level cap hit can show many years, and the two figures are not one contract.
