Rate Jason Spezza — All-Time
Sport-specific career totals from the active profile tables, with VAL shown whenever the sport has a value file.
18 seasons · peak 18.2 in 2008
VAL (Value Above League) measures each NHL season against that season's league; the dashed line is zero — a season that added nothing above the league's fringe. ● peak · ○ league-best season.
43.3 career wins over 18 seasons · 1 win = 3.52 VAL
Best season · 2008 · +5.2 wins
5.2 of OTT's 43 wins (12%)
Latest season · 2022 · +0.4 wins
0.4 of TOR's 54 wins (1%)
VAL 3.0 measures each part of a NHL player's game in his sport's own currency against what that season's fringe players produced, converted to team wins with rates fitted from every team-season in the encyclopedia. Team wins are the club's actual regular-season wins, counted from goaltender decisions, which can miss a few games; a traded season, or one whose club record is missing, shows no share.
How often Jason Spezza led or placed top-ten on a NHL season board, and the shape of the career — computed from the same per-season boards the year pages publish, so every number is checkable.

The season chip above measures Jason Spezza's single best year. This measures the whole career: every rated season's standing against its own era's peers, summed. A season at the era median adds nothing and a below-median season subtracts — so this number is time spent above your era, not time served.
