Inspired by The Hockey News' Ken Campbell model (that ends after the 2018-19 season), I wanted to rank NHL teams based on the mathematical success they've had from 2009-10 to 2022-23.

Here are the calculations :
Stanley Cup = 30 pts
President's Trophy = 10 pts
Playoff appearance = 3 pts
Series win = 5 pts
Top 3 but not 1st = 3 pts
Team record during that span = proportional to rank (Ex. : 1st team gets 30 pts, 30th team gets 1 pts)
Last overall finish = -10 pts
Bottom 3 but not last = -3 pts
Playoffs missed = -3 pts

Seattle and Vegas aren't included.

Oil and Leafs fans are gonna hate this but good job

This took a while to do and the mods transferred it to another dimension within two seconds

I figured it would have, that's the main reason I said good job, the research and calculations alone would take hours if not days to do. I admire your passion and commitment

Habs being a middle of the pack team during the Price era should be a crime....sigh

Leafs were awful for the first half of the decade and couldn't get out of the first round of the playoffs for the second half. Not really surprising where they're ranked.

Why would we hate this? It's no secret the Leafs were dog s*** throughout the 2010s. We all experienced it 😂

Not really... From 2010-2016, the Leafs have been awful and they've only won a series...

I wouldn't really call that a very good franchise

Actually between 2010 and 2016 they have 0 playoff series wins. Their 1st playoff series win before last year was way back in 2004. Most Leafs fans typically don't like anything that ranks the Habs higher (vise versa for most Habs fans too BTW), hence the comment.

I meant 1 series in the time span of 2010-2023...

and in the 2010s, the Leafs were rebuilding with Brian Burke as their GM...

Teams I expected to be lower: Colorado, Carolina, New York Islanders, Los Angeles

Teams I expected to be higher: Ottawa, Detroit, Anaheim, San Jose
