The NHL draft board that prices picks in points
Surplus at surplus.football prices fantasy hockey picks in points on the board itself. That is the product. It is not “surplus value,” the drafting strategy.

What the columns mean
Proj/g is per-game fantasy points in your scoring (per start for goalies). Season value is that rate × eGP. In category leagues the column prints as Z — a season z-score sum over the skater or goalie pool. Season z already includes playing time, so it is not multiplied by eGP again.
VOB/g is season value over baseline, shown per game: (rate × eGP minus the last startable at that position) ÷ eGP. The sort still uses season VOB. The football missed-game haircut is not applied. Category leagues print Z/base. Skaters and goalies are independent pools.
Tier marks a cliff. ADP is the market. Δ pick answers “can you wait?” eGP is expected games (skaters) or starts (goalies). Surv% is survival in this room until your next turn.
The spine is in-house Marcel. ESPN Fantasy Hockey rest-of-season totals are scaled to a rate before they blend with Marcel; a blended line that still looks like a season total is dropped. Surplus does not run the football house model on hockey. The house-model backtest is football only.
Surv% and Δ pick lock behind a free sign-up. Guest drafts stay in this browser.
Not a cheat sheet
Dobber Hockey and Frozen Tools are ranking and projection research. They are not a live draft board that records picks and re-prices the room. Surplus is the board.
Who it is not for: a league that mainly wants a shared party URL. That is FanDraft Hockey or Clicky Draft. There is no shareable room on Surplus.
Not the “surplus value” articles
Surplus the product is the board at surplus.football. Surplus value is a strategy. This page is the hockey board that prices the pick.
