I think this conversation got sidetracked with "who falls in each bucket" and then Malkin specifically.

I agree that Malkin is in the elite category people were outraged that he wasn't a top 100 player ever, he won the Hart during the first cup run and then had a huge year the year following the second cup run so there is longevity. However, I think it would be easier if you defined what each bucket consists of.
For example
ETL - = >PPG and Corsi>55% (or some other metric)
Top 6 - = PPG to .75PPG and >55% corsi
Mid 6 - = .75 to .5PPG and >50% corsi

This will pull out personal biases on how you "rate" a player. If there is an outlier maybe dig a little deeper and figure out why and adjust your buckets.
