they're both kind of equal in the spent against what is considered elite competition by WoodMoney's quality of competition stat. they have 3 tiers of opposition: elite, middle, gritensity. you can read more on how they came about it online, but it's criteria using pts/60, TOI/gp, Relative Corsi and a weighted Fencwick stat (essentially assign a value to shot attempts without counting the blocked ones) to classify Fwds across the NHL.
i think i prefer this rather than where a player might be on the depth chart b/c there are times non-elite or weaker players are higher up, and elite ones are down (ie: in EDM: Perry & Drai are both considered 2nd liners but obviously there's a huge difference in quality of player that's where defined groupings may help).
this is against "elite"
the difference b/w ehlers and CSV is negligible. CSV is that jumbled group just slightly above Ehlers.
and this is "middle"
so against Elite+Middle
CSV: is around 70% of the time
Names+Perfetti is: 64%
and Ehlers is 67% (b/w the two above groups).
and then obviously the "gritensity" fwds are the remaining group.
