I did see one old thread about these but it didn't really help explain what it means..

Two examples to look at. Both players are currently on my farm team in AHL

Looking at a 21 year old prospect currently with 3.0 ability/4.0 potential
Talent 7.5075
Future Talent 7.4916
Rel Talent 8.2095
Future Rel Talent 8.1936

What exactly is that telling me especially where Future numbers are below that of the other numbers

Other example is a 23 y/old with 2.0 ability/3.5 potential where Future numbers are higher than current:

Talent 6.4000
Future Talent 9.8748
Rel Talent 7.1020
Future Rel Talent 10.5768

what is this one saying exactly?

Also, are these numbers hard coded or will the fluctuate based on performance?
and does it matter that these guys are in the AHL at the moment - will the numbers change when they get to the NHL (which seems likely)

Thanks

The talent and future talent numbers on the edit screen are the internal versions of ability/potential prior to being converted to the 5-star system and without any scouting error. They're calculated from the actual ratings and potentials of the player. As the ratings change, so will those numbers.

With this, I've noticed that there are occasionally times where I'll increase the potential of a player, and their fut. talent will decrease. Why is that?

Any players in particular you remember? Sounds like the calculation being used in that spot might be an old one that had an issue with that, I can check it if I know of a player it's happening with.

Unfortunately not off the top of my head? I want to say Michkov and Wright are two of them, but honestly I am not positive.
