TRADE BREAKDOWN · COMPLETED 2026-06-27
NSH / PIT
PIT +1.0 AS SAVED (the model's value read, after package counting).
NSH model grade B
Value net -1.0 NAV, inside the fair band (within 10% or 10 NAV).
PIT model grade B
Value net +1.0 NAV, inside the fair band (within 10% or 10 NAV).
A grade is the model's value read at the time, as a letter: how far apart the two packages were after package counting, as a share of the larger one. Trades the headline calls fair are a B for both clubs. It leaves out cap, lineup holes, fit, the contention window and injuries, which are listed separately below, and a club can take a lower grade for need. It's not a prediction of who wins the trade; the value model ordered real trades only modestly better than chance.

WHAT THE MODEL FLAGGED
- Value and on-ice read disagree. The package value runs against Nashville Predators, but wins added, window impact or roster fit point the other way. The gap is small enough that either read could be right; treat this as close to even.
