2026-27 edition
Ask a direct question about this edition of the book — who, how many, how common, which group more — and it is answered
with a table computed on this page from the edition’s index: the season line, height and age, the on-ice percentiles, the grades and the traits read out of every
report. Ask for a view on named players — what a comparison comes down to, what makes a man — and you get the book’s reading of their own pages, and only
those. The model turns your question into a query and phrases the result, or reads the pages it is handed; it never
originates a figure, and an answer carrying a figure that is on neither the table nor the pages is withheld. It does not forecast, and it says so
when a question is outside what the book holds.
