So I have too much time on my hands and for comparison sake, I went through the past start of season power rankings (green means they made the playoffs). Season 9: 8 of the predicted bottom 11 teams made the playoffs, and only 5 of the top 10 made the playoffs. 1 - Arizona Coyotes - (4.37) 2 - Colorado Avalanche - (4.37) 3 - Vegas Golden Knights - (4.31) 4 - Washington Capitals - (4.29) 5 - Tampa Bay Lightning - (4.23) 6 - Minnesota Wild - (4.18) 7 - Buffalo Sabres - (4.18) 8 - Calgary Flames - (4.16) 9 - New York Rangers - (4.14) 10 - Carolina Hurricanes - (4.12) 11 - Dallas Stars - (4.09) 12 - Boston Bruins - (4.08) 13 - Nashville Predators - (4.08) 14 - Philadelphia Flyers - (4.08) 15 - Toronto Maple Leafs - (4.07) 16 - St. Louis Blues - (4.07) 17 - Anaheim Ducks - (4.04) 18 - Columbus Blue Jackets - (4.04) 19 - Florida Panthers - (4.03) 20 - Montreal Canadiens - (3.98) 21 - San Jose Sharks - (3.97) 22 - Los Angeles Kings - (3.97) 23 - Chicago Blackhawks - (3.96) 24 - Edmonton Oilers - (3.93) 25 - Winnipeg Jets - (3.91) 26 - New York Islanders - (3.89) 27 - New Jersey Devils - (3.85) 28 - Pittsburgh Penguins - (3.80) 29 - Vancouver Canucks - (3.77) 30 - Ottawa Senators - (3.68) 31 - Detroit Red Wings - (3.68) Season 8: 11 of the top 16 made the playoffs 1 - Colorado Avalanche - (4.43) 2 - Carolina Hurricanes - (4.41) 3 - Calgary Flames - (4.27) 4 - New Jersey Devils - (4.25) 5 - Washington Capitals - (4.14) 6 - Ottawa Senators - (4.11) 7 - Florida Panthers - (4.10) 8 - Vancouver Canucks - (4.10) 9 - Vegas Golden Knights - (4.09) 10 - Minnesota Wild - (4.08) 11 - Tampa Bay Lightning - (4.08) 12 - Nashville Predators - (4.07) 13 - Montreal Canadiens - (4.06) 14 - Anaheim Ducks - (4.03) 15 - New York Rangers - (4.00) 16 - San Jose Sharks - (4.00) 17 - Buffalo Sabres - (3.99) 18 - Columbus Blue Jackets - (3.99) 19 - Boston Bruins - (3.96) 20 - Edmonton Oilers - (3.93) 21 - Arizona Coyotes - (3.93) 22 - Toronto Maple Leafs - (3.92) 23 - Philadelphia Flyers - (3.91) 24 - Winnipeg Jets - (3.87) 25 - Dallas Stars - (3.84) 26 - St. Louis Blues - (3.84) 27 - Detroit Red Wings - (3.82) 28 - New York Islanders - (3.81) 29 - Los Angeles Kings - (3.81) 30 - Chicago Blackhawks - (3.78) 31 - Pittsburgh Penguins - (3.78) Season 7: Only 2 of the Top 10 teams made the playoffs 1 - Ottawa Senators - (4.44) 2 - Colorado Avalanche - (4.33) 3 - Columbus Blue Jackets - (4.19) 4 - Tampa Bay Lightning - (4.14) 5 - San Jose Sharks - (4.14) 6 - Los Angeles Kings - (4.13) 7 - Pittsburgh Penguins - (4.12) 8 - Anaheim Ducks - (4.12) 9 - Boston Bruins - (4.09) 10 - New York Islanders - (4.08) 11 - Nashville Predators - (4.06) 12 - New York Rangers - (4.04) 13 - Toronto Maple Leafs - (4.02) 14 - Buffalo Sabres - (4.00) 15 - Montreal Canadiens - (3.97) 16 - Florida Panthers - (3.94) 17 - Arizona Coyotes - (3.94) 18 - Calgary Flames - (3.94) 19 - Minnesota Wild - (3.94) 20 - St. Louis Blues - (3.93) 21 - Dallas Stars - (3.90) 22 - Chicago Blackhawks - (3.90) 23 - New Jersey Devils - (3.90) 24 - Detroit Red Wings - (3.88) 25 - Vegas Golden Knights - (3.83) 26 - Philadelphia Flyers - (3.82) 27 - Edmonton Oilers - (3.81) 28 - Carolina Hurricanes - (3.78) 29 - Winnipeg Jets - (3.73) 30 - Washington Capitals - (3.72) 31 - Vancouver Canucks - (3.53) Season 6: 12 of the top 16 teams made the playoffs 1 - Chicago Blackhawks - (4.53) 2 - Dallas Stars - (4.47) 3 - Colorado Avalanche - (4.43) 4 - San Jose Sharks - (4.34) 5 - Edmonton Oilers - (4.34) 6 - Nashville Predators - (4.33) 7 - New York Islanders - (4.26) 8 - New Jersey Devils - (4.21) 9 - Los Angeles Kings - (4.20) 10 - Boston Bruins - (4.20) 11 - Vegas Golden Knights - (4.17) 12 - Ottawa Senators - (4.16) 13 - Carolina Hurricanes - (4.14) 14 - Columbus Blue Jackets - (4.13) 15 - Vancouver Canucks - (4.10) 16 - Philadelphia Flyers - (4.05) 17 - Calgary Flames - (4.05) 18 - Anaheim Ducks - (4.04) 19 - New York Rangers - (4.03) 20 - Detroit Red Wings - (4.02) 21 - Arizona Coyotes - (4.00) 22 - Toronto Maple Leafs - (3.98) 23 - Pittsburgh Penguins - (3.98) 24 - Minnesota Wild - (3.98) 25 - Winnipeg Jets - (3.95) 26 - Florida Panthers - (3.94) 27 - St. Louis Blues - (3.91) 28 - Washington Capitals - (3.83) 29 - Buffalo Sabres - (3.82) 30 - Tampa Bay Lightning - (3.81) 31 - Montreal Canadiens - (3.55)
