It's the January 15th, 1993 issue of The Hockey News and the cover story (along with Canada's WJC gold) is of THN polling 5 professional scouts to rate every single player in the NHL.
Each player's total rating is based on the 1-6 rating he received from each of the 5 pro scouts.
28-30 = Superstar
23-27 = Star
18-22 = NHL Regular-Plus
13-17 = NHL Regular
8-12 = Role Player
5-7 = Depth Player
In all, 48 players were considered "superstars & stars." Here they are:
Mario Lemieux - 30
