I made a free website with WAR data from Top Down Hockey (same source JFresh uses for his player cards) which shows data visualizations for every NHL player for the 21-22 season:

Ive posted these a couple times already in the forums and AGM comments but I recently made a couple of big changes that I think improve the cards a lot and make it easier to share.
Changes:
-url is now player specific, so you can send a link to any player card (previously all urls would go to the default home page regardless of which player card was open when the url was copied). for example I can link a Brandon Hagel card like this:
http://udh-playercards.herokuapp.com/?player=BRANDON+HAGEL, or link a Claude Giroux card like this:
http://udh-playercards.herokuapp.com/?player=CLAUDE+GIROUX
-default player was set to Devon Toews (also my capfriendly pfp
)
-Compact WAR view - new visualization which shows the z-score for multiple different WAR categories including EV Offensive WAR/60 (labelled EVO), EV Defensive WAR/60 (labelled EVD), Shooting WAR/60 (labelled SHOOT), Penalties WAR/60 (labelled PEN), PP Offensive WAR/60 (labelled PP), and PK Defensive WAR/60 (labelled PK), as well as the histogram with probability density function overlay to show the overall WAR/60 league distribution and where each player sits in that distribution. The z-scores were used to replace the percentiles since I believe they are more intuitive (percentiles are skewed near the extremes), however I left the overall WAR/60 percentile in the top left, along with other player info (TOI, position, team).
-Imgur integration - This makes it very easy to share images to capfriendly and other sites - just scroll down to the compact WAR view and click the green button labelled "Upload to Imgur". The image will be saved and the Imgur url will then be displayed below which can be copied and inputted directly into the 'insert image' function in the comments of capfriendly.
Here's a couple images of the new compact WAR view player cards using Imgur:
