Is the Y-axis representing time on ice to quality of comp., meaning the smaller the number the better??

For whatever the purpose of the chart, is the position 0,0 the best possible outcome?
sorry if stupid question

While it really depends on what you value in a defenceman, I would say that you've got the intended argument of the chart. The chart is making note of how Keith faces easier competition (though the scale on the Y-axis is deceptive - it's really basically 28.9% for Keith vs. 29.6% for Gio/Weber and 29.9% for Chara), but also starts in the offensive zone far more often, leading to more offensive chances.
PPG:
Keith 0.772
Giordano 0.734
Weber 0.709
Chara 0.519
Overall, I'd say Gio most deserves it from a statistical perspective, especially given how bad the Flames generally were. But, how bad the Flames generally were works against him, as does missing 18 games due to injury.
