Career ledger 2020-21 onward · 5 seasons in window

+0.11 cap-years of surplus ≈ +$9.5M

Judged as-of — each season priced with only the model and data available then — Arthur Kaliyev has delivered 0.11 cap-years more value than he's been paid across our data window. One cap-year = a full season's salary-cap ceiling.

Career still active — this total will keep moving.

Low-confidence total — thin or short seasons drive a large share of the swing, so read it with caution.

Why this verdict

Why this verdict

Where this contract sits vs. the market

Each dot is a real free-agent signing (2015-2026): 1082 comparable forward deals. The line is the going rate at each talent level, the market convention we price against. Real signings scatter around it; comparable players don’t all sign for the identical number.

Cap hit $775K Market rate $1.7M +$940K vs. the open market

The page’s headline verdict, +$474K/yr, refines this by adjusting the market rate for age, contract term, and restricted-free-agent status. The plot compares to the raw market curve; the verdict adjusts it.

This player is on an RFA (restricted) contract. Part of the gap below the curve is CBA cost control (teams pay restricted players below open-market value by rule), not evidence of a market inefficiency.

Structurally similar active deals

This contract sits in the Young / bridge region of the contract map. These are the active contracts whose shape is nearest to it, closest in spend, term, age, and role (not how they aged):

Comparable by the shape of the deal, not by team or playing style. Archetypes are broad regions on a continuum; a deal near a boundary is genuinely in-between.

Career xG IMPACT/60 0.1

On-ice expected-goals impact per 60 — RAPM-adjusted (teammate- and competition-adjusted) where career 5v5 ice time clears the reliability floor, a raw on-off xG differential otherwise. Not wins. The RAPM figure is career-pooled (one value across seasons); the on-off fallback shows the most recent season.
