A few players, such as Minnesota Wild forward Mats Zuccarello and Columbus Blue Jackets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois, seem to think they are rated lower than they should be.

Zuccarello (84 overall) expressed humorous discontent that his former New York Rangers teammate Mika Zibanejad is rated higher than him in this year’s game.

Dubois, meanwhile, made reference to “The Office,” asking EA Sports to . . . estimate him. 

Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone poked fun at his former Senators teammate Brady Tkachuk (82 overall), advising Tkachuk to ask EA Sports to cover his head with a helmet.

Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin accepted his 92 overall rating but promised “next time I will be better,” with some emojis added for humor’s sake.

 Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly reportedly said he thought his rating “Coulda been higher.”

EA Sports’ NHL Twitter account has been revealing ratings of certain players in recent days. Below is a list of the players whose ratings have been released thus far, including the game’s top 50 players.
