Franchise identity constellation
NHL Franchise Mt. Rushmores
Career VAL multiplied by attributed franchise tenure share, plus a bounded verified-honors bump on that franchise-carried value (Hall of Fame + recorded award wins). Candidates need at least 3 seasons or 40% of their career with the club.
Canonical active-team directory only. International, minor-league, shared-city, and ambiguous raw team keys are excluded rather than guessed. Scores are comparisons inside this sport, not across sports.

Method and source receipt
Career VAL multiplied by attributed franchise tenure share, plus a bounded verified-honors bump on that franchise-carried value (Hall of Fame + recorded award wins). Candidates need at least 3 seasons or 40% of their career with the club.
