The best and worst team regular seasons of the salary cap era. (2005/2006 – present)

The right column on the second graph got a nice few bursts of air out of my nose
2020 seems like a crazy year for points

Only thing that threw me off is year because you chose the year the season started. Seeing 2007 and Detroit Red Wings won Stanley Cup Finals confused me.
The ‘years’ are when those seasons began but not ended. For example, the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2013 but on this list, they appear as ‘2012.’
X-perience the ***X-GENERATION***
Some of those wings lineups were laughably bad man. We had a D core of Alex biega, Madison Bowey, Dennis cholowski, Trevor Daley, patrik nemeth, a decrepit Mike green, and a young hronek. 2 players scored 40 pts. And we picked 4th 😇
Worst team in the cap era yet 0 number 1 or 2 overall selections in the draft. Tough to be a wings fan
It is strange that regular season hockey and playoff hockey are two different games. Really highlights the need for a shorter or more infrequent schedule imo. 82 is a ton of hockey.
*worst season in 20 years
*gets 4th overall pick
I’m happy with Raymond, but damn does the lottery suck
So the presidents’ trophy winners + the others from 2020
What are the odds that Edmonton finished back-to-back seasons with the same points total?
Goddamn Edmonton must have been tanking for a generational talent or something.
Interesting that there has been 24 seasons with a .700 points percentage or higher since the lockout and only 3 of them won the Cup.
2013 Blackhawks were insane, they basically went wall to wall as the best team in the league.
2022 Panthers were such a great team, since the dead puck era begun (94 Devils I’d say), the Panthers have more goals than any team outside of Jagr and Lemieux’s Pens in 96.
Four of the top five teams were out in shocking fashion. Three in the first round, and then the 2012 Pens got absolutely decimated by the Bruins.
Some feedback, I think this table is easier to read if you sort it by points total not winning percentage most people don’t ever think of it in those terms. Also Year should be the year the season ended not when it started.
Ah yes, the Sharks appearing on both photo lists…
Not surprising with our tank jobs these last couple of years.
Didn’t appear on either list. Sounds about fucking right.
Only team on this list to make it to the Cup finals and lose …
Yup you guessed it
My conclusion is that once every 12 years the points % leader will win the cup.
Look at the worst team…. and realize in four years they had no #1 overall picks,always get moved back in the draft lottery and have climbed to a point where they are knocking on the door of playoff hockey as they sign better players and have prospects in the system.
All that and there are still people who think Yzerman doesn’t know how to build a team.
Aside from the years throwing me off, pretty cool post. I find it interesting how only 2 out of the top 20 teams actually won the cup.
Was also really hoping for a Pens/Hawks finals in 2013 🙁
Whenever people shit on Yzerman they need to look at the shit pile he inherited
Yea booooiiiiii
Is this our daily shit on the Avs post?

I think that instead of Playoffs for the worst teams, Draft Lottery results would’ve been more interesting
Interesting how few teams on the good side actually won the Cup.
Why is the rank column on the worst teams graph so fucked up?
At least the teams on the second graph can take solace in their first overall draft picks that they definitely didn’t lose to the draft lottery only to have them score a cup winning goal against them. Because man, that’d be fucked up.
It really is hilarious thst the 2019 Wings fell to 4th overall. Yup. Definitely hilarious and not at all infuriatingly depressing. At least Raymond is a legit beauty.
We are the best of both.
You can tank in three ways:
like Colorado, and be super good pretty darn quickly.
like Edmonton, and waste a number of first overall picks until you finally land on a basically unwastable pick.
like Buffalo, and just never really stop tanking until it becomes a way of life.
still cant believe how that 2022 bruins team imploded
I knew the Leafs’ 69 points in 2015-16 was high for a last place team, and this chart confirms it.
so panthers have the lowest point total and 4th highest. i’ll take it.
