The Colorado Avalanche didn’t do too well last season. Now the good part: they will be featured in EA SPORTS NHL 16 anyway.

As we all know, though, whoever is responsible for player ratings in EA SPORTS’ NHL office, doesn’t always do the best job. We have had ridiculously overrated players like Dave Bolland at 85, as well as outstanding youngstars that were lucky if they made it past 70.

Unfortunately, there is a great chance that everybody will disagree with one rating or another, but we can at least try to get closer to reality. We also have to note that the rating system gets changed every once in a while, and why none of that got public for EA SPORTS NHL 16, it remains a possibility. Therefore, this will be based on last year’s version of the game, which — as we all know — is likely the same game with outdated rosters.

Let’s jump right into it, starting with our goalies. All of last year’s ratings were the original ratings each player had, according to HUTHQ.com.
