FAQ

How are Tommy Novak's fantasy points calculated?

What is Novak's Dynasty Value Score?
Novak scores 258 out of 10,000 (#505 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 Novak's 2026–27 Engine projection?
We project 149.9 NHL-standard fantasy points over 72.57 games. Counting stats (goals, assists, and the rest of the template) feed both this line and Dynasty Value Score.
