Based on his performance the last three years, he's an exceptionally good third-pairing defenceman, the kind that can cover for a poor partner. Based on last year, he's less than that. Based on his age, he shouldn't be playing 82 games or anywhere near it, so he's probably best suited for a #7 role.

So if they put me in for a few games everyone else would be 99-100%?
It's simply wrong, because only the worst player in the league can get 0% WAR, which JFresh thinks is the same as replacement level, which also means that no below-replacement level player has ever played in the NHL.
