What this is: the lineup as the published line sources have it, seated by slot, with each player's 2026-27 line from the finals on file on each card. It is a projection by the source, not a coaching decision, and nobody listed as out is seated on a line. Out rows are injury reports, each with its source and, where the source dated it, the date of the note. Not dressed lists the players PuckPedia places outside its lineup. It is not an injury report.

Method: a playoff appearance is a postseason series actually played; a Cup is a Cup-Final series won, excluding the two seasons no Cup was awarded. Points percentage is points divided by twice the games played, because the league's own feed leaves that field blank on most historical seasons. Best and worst seasons ignore schedules under 20 games so a lockout year cannot pose as a record.
