Quoting: Tbrew
There is literally no algorithm, and it’s based on reporters and insiders doing actual reporting.
Literally the first roster on your profile doesnt line up with with contract projections per Evolving Hockey.
And again, I don't care about what one specific site may say, as what I have used pretty much lines up with the rosters i create. Again with reporters(or in this case, one reporters opinion), and others that had nothing credible from inside Tampa, but fueled rumors and speculation by saying, "they think Tampa may have offered Killorn a long-term, low aav contract", and Colton is looking for a considerable or significant raise, which then immediately got plastered everywhere as, omg, Colton is pricing himself out of Tampa...There is nothing substantiated.
