The 10 Best Bargains.
Ranked by cost per point. The skaters delivering the most production per dollar in the 2025-26 PWHL season.
The methodology is plain: take a player's salary, divide by her point total, and you get the dollar cost of each point she put on the board. Lower numbers mean better deals for the team. There's a 15-game minimum. Goalies are excluded.
What jumps out: Minnesota appears four times in the top 10. New York, Vancouver, Boston, Montreal, Ottawa, and Seattle each get one.

Method
Cost per point is the player's 2025-26 base salary divided by her regular-season point total. Lower is better. A 15-game minimum applies, which knocks out call-ups and injuries that would otherwise produce noisy ratios. Goalies are excluded entirely. Players with zero points are excluded by definition (no points means no ratio).
Salary figures come from the PWHLPA's April 2026 release. Stats are through the end of the 2025-26 regular season. Ties broken by raw point total, then by lower salary.
