Yea that's pretty interesting.
One thing I noticed after rerates was that in general players got higher ratings. Maybe ratings were a little lower last season due to no NHL stats. This year they are a little inflated which may contribute to so many teams improving their average.
And in the offseason almost every team is trying to improve which creates the parity we see here.
But one thing is for sure, this should be an interesting season. A lot of teams look really competative. The 2 biggest "losers" of the offseason as far as OV average are 2 GM's who've won the cup before and had awsome teams last year. Something tells me they will be back at the top by some point next season.
