Description
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.

I'd drop presidents trophy down to 5 points. Shouldn't be worth more than a playoff series win

Why start the clock 14 years ago?

Does a lottery win equal a last place finish?

Start of the last full decade, plus every half-competent NHL team had the opportunity to have a competitive stint in such sample.

I disagree.

Every year, 8 NHL teams win a round, in just the first round.

Only one team is the regular season’s best

Of course it does. It’s a massive feat, and is synonymous with success.
