Nearest signings

Median 3.4% of the cap: $3.50M today

Distance: one unit is 2 years of age, 0.15 points per game (skaters), a 25% share of the schedule, or 2 years of term. Shares are of each deal's first-season cap, rescaled to today's $104.00M.

How this works

Age is the first season's start year minus birth year. The platform season is the one before the first season, from league game logs; games are a share of that season's schedule (48, 70 and 56 games in the shortened seasons). Arbitration admissibility rules are not applied yet. The worked example is a test in src/lib/__tests__/term-tools-core.test.ts.
