That's players drafted since 2011, and their games and points for the drafting team. Games and points elsewhere weren't counted (e.g. Yakupov's 9 points in STL or whatever, Zadorov's points in Colorado, etc.).
So the Jets are among the best. Tampa and Calgary have done very well for their average first pick ranking. Buffalo's underperformed. The Jets have more games, Florida's got a few more points (over half of that is because Hellebuyck doesn't rack up any points).
Tampa really crushed the 2011 draft - a lot of their points are from those guys, so they've managed to pile up quite a few points over the years. The Leafs good picks OTOH, are from the last 3 drafts, so they haven't had time to accumulate (if Matthews, Marner and Nylander all hit 60 points next year, they'd move up a lot). The Jets have been pretty steady - adding regular players from every draft (expecting Connor to be a regular player next year).
Other takeaways: how does Garth Snow still have a job? He made a couple of good moves for Leddy and Boychuk and has otherwise sucked in every imaginable way.
