FAQ

How are Nick Bjugstad's fantasy points calculated?

Bjugstad scores 66 out of 10,000 (#697 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 Bjugstad's 2026–27 Engine projection?
We project 130.3 NHL-standard fantasy points over 69.325 games. Counting stats (goals, assists, and the rest of the template) feed both this line and Dynasty Value Score.
