Role-Aware
The lineup is built around how each line should function, not just who grades highest alone.
Top-line creation, second-line scoring reliability, support usage, and matchup deployment each read from player and combo inputs differently.

Golden Edge Analytics
Vegas-only lineup optimization using player value, chemistry, and deployment fit.
Project Focus
The point of the tool is not to spit out the twelve highest-rated skaters and call it a day. It is to determine which combinations best fit top-end creation, reliable scoring, support usage, tougher defensive minutes, realistic defense deployment, and goalie priority for this Vegas roster.

Top-line creation, second-line scoring reliability, support usage, and matchup deployment each read from player and combo inputs differently.
Chemistry-Driven
