What's their point production like? Time On Ice? +/-? Etc?

Teams typically like to build or even make trades for players because it's something more they can control. It's possible teams are tight with Cap restraints themselves and/or at their limit for contracts so grabbing someone off waivers isn't always the best thing.
That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! I took a look through the other teams finances, contracts, my player's point production, etc. The contracts and cap space definitely is not an issue for 90% of the other teams. The point production/stats of my guys are definitely a significant improvement compared to those of players on other teams, so I'm still at a bit of a loss. I can't really see the other teams scouting, so that might be an issue.

If I put the guys on the trade block, I'll always get offers, but it would be "nice" to see some snatched up on waivers.

Thanks for the help!
