How scoring works
- Era-adjusted.Every player is normalized within their own era & position, so a 1950s legend and a modern star compete fairly.
- Goaltending carries. A great goalie can lift a roster; a weak one caps your ceiling.
- Weaknesses bite.A bottleneck penalty punishes the single weakest pillar — balance matters over 82 games.
- Deterministic & fair. Ranked results are server-computed from your roster, so the same lineup always earns the same record.
