Sergei Bobrovsky
2025-26· Data as of July 27, 2026
Status derived from CBA rules; edge cases (Group 6 UFA, 10.2(c), 35+ contracts) may be misclassified. Years remaining are not yet tracked.
Leaning overpaid
Goalie value is volatile year to year, so we don't headline a hard dollar figure on goalie contracts.
Fair-value range $2.6M – $8.2M
Pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) This is a rating, priced in dollars — what the model rates his on-ice value at. It is not a forecast of what he'll sign for. See the projected signing price on the Free-Agent board.
Track record Judged as-of — with only the model and data available each season — this deal has cost −$44.8M over 6 seasons through 2024-25. See how past calls held up →
−0.70 cap-years of deficit ≈ −$56.2M
Judged as-of — each season priced with only the model and data available then — Sergei Bobrovsky has cost 0.70 cap-years more than he's delivered across our data window. One cap-year = a full season's salary-cap ceiling.
Partial history: this counts only seasons from 2014-15 on. Sergei Bobrovsky's earlier years — including any cheap entry-level and prime seasons — are before our data window and are not in this total.
Why this verdict
Why this verdict
Where this contract sits vs. the market
Each dot is a real free-agent signing (2015-2026): 211 comparable goaltending deals. The line is the going rate at each value-score level, the market convention we price against. Real signings scatter around it; comparable players don’t all sign for the identical number.
The page’s headline verdict, −$4.6M/yr, refines this by adjusting the market rate for age, contract term. The plot compares to the raw market curve; the verdict adjusts it.
Goaltending value repeats far less year to year than skater talent, so the goalie market is noisier and the curve deliberately flatter; read a goalie’s position loosely.
The range reflects pricing-model error, not measurement — fair value is a modeled estimate. The sample badge reflects games played, not dollar accuracy.
Outlook
Outlook
Future contract years valued by aging the player's current form forward against a projected salary cap — projections, not measurements. Each year carries a calibrated low–high range beneath its projected value — wider the further out the year runs and skewed downward to reflect players who leave the league. Confidence drops the further out they go, and the least predictable cases (elite players, goalies) show a wide insufficient comparable signings band rather than a precise figure. See the methodology.
This is a value trajectory, not a signing-price forecast — it does not apply the same-year discount the Free-Agent board uses for market timing and age risk. If a season below is also this player's free-agent year, expect the two pages to disagree; both are answering different questions.
| Season | Cap Hit | Proj. Fair Value | Verdict | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-27 | $7.0M | $2.9M $2.8M–$5.2M | Leaning overpaid | near-term projection |
| 2027-28 | $7.0M | $3.1M $999K–$4.4M | Too far out to call — projected range only | long-range projection |
| 2028-29 | $7.0M | $3.4M $1.1M–$4.8M | Too far out to call — projected range only | long-range projection |
Past his peak window
Production index for goalies. The dot marks Sergei at age 37.
Empirical production-by-age index (delta-method WAR fit, 2010-11+). Illustrative of typical aging; the dollar model prices age with a separate, softer decline.
How this deal's surplus has accumulated — each elapsed season judged as-of,
scored with only the model and data available that season (no hindsight) and priced at the
player's age that year. This retrospective runs through 2024-25; the
current-season verdict is shown above. The waterfall builds the running total left to right; the subtotal below is a tally to date, not a forecast. Single-season value is noisy, and early-year
deficits partly reflect a lower salary cap — the same AAV was a smaller share of
the cap then — while the model tends to underprice an elite player's early-career
season, so read the early seasons with extra caution.
Partial record: part of this deal falls outside our as-of coverage, so only its 2019-20–2024-25 seasons are graded here.
