FAQ

How are Liam O'Brien's fantasy points calculated?

O'Brien scores 0 out of 10,000 (#805 on the NHL board). The score is hockey VORP from NHL-standard projections and a 3-year age horizon — not the football board and not half-PPR. Version nhl-dvs-v0.2.
What is O'Brien's 2026–27 Engine projection?
We project 63.7 NHL-standard fantasy points over 52.1375 games. Counting stats (goals, assists, and the rest of the template) feed both this line and Dynasty Value Score.
