Lowest-count external lane screens are research leads. They do not prove need, fit, price, availability, or that this player should move.

Contract boundary

Do not invent the missing half of the decision.

CapOrCup has not independently certified this player’s contract, cash schedule, bonuses, clauses, expiry, protection, waivers, or cap-counting status. Cross-check the specialist databases while the internal ledger remains incomplete.

Questions a GM still has to answer

01
How much of the scoring comes at five-on-five, on special teams, or into an empty net?
02
Is the player creating the play, finishing it, or receiving a secondary point?
03
Does deployment reveal trust, scarcity, underuse, or a role the roster cannot offer?
04
What contract, acquisition cost, development alternative, and Cup-window effect complete the argument?
