WAR and PAL ratings, 2022-23

How we rate →

PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.

Hockey IQ, 2022-23

Rankings and method →

The quality of the player's decisions with and against the puck at 5-on-5, against regulars at the same position (50 = average). PAL measures output; IQ measures how the player plays.

Why 80, higher than both scores? Overall IQ isn't an average, it's a rank: 83 of 424 forwards. Few players are good at both ends at once; being so puts Paul Stastny ahead of almost everyone else.
