A rating is a player's percentile among NHL players at his position — defensemen are ranked against defensemen, not against forwards, so a 70 means different things for a winger and a blueliner in raw wins. It is measured from wins above replacement, which converts on-ice and individual contributions into wins beyond what a freely available replacement would provide. Bars are drawn on a shared scale, so they are comparable down the column. How this is calculated
