The Mammoth made the playoffs in just their second season in Salt Lake City, and they earned every bit of it. Dylan Guenther's breakout 40-goal, 73-point year alongside Clayton Keller and the continued ascent of Logan Cooley gave Utah a top-six that can finally trade punches with anyone, while Karel Vejmelka was a revelation in net with top-10 numbers in save percentage above expected. The warning shot is two states north, the Mammoth need to keep this trajectory going or they'll end up like the Kraken, an expansion novelty that quietly settles into permanent mediocrity.

Rating scores each player out of 100 against others at his position, across the three areas we grade: offence, defence, and the rest of his game. Vs cap hit compares that score to what his salary normally buys around the league, so +10 means he plays ten points better than his price tag suggests and -10 means ten points worse. Forwards are only ever measured against forwards and defensemen against defensemen, which is why the two are listed separately: a forward and a defenseman on the same number are not the same player. Green and red mark a gap of more than 10 points either way, which is wider than 7 in 10 players in the league, so most of a normal roster sits grey. Grey means the contract is priced about right, not that the player is unremarkable. Not shown: 2 goalies and 4 skaters without enough NHL games to grade.

Every skater above is compared to what his salary normally buys, then the roster is added up. The bar splits this team's cap money three ways by how those contracts are playing. We show a band rather than a place from 1 to 32 because the order of the middle of the league is too tight to call. Goalies are not included.
