Dallas (1st) and Vegas(2nd) and 2nd Florida (9th) is nothing except a attempt get attention with very questionable power ranking. I am waiting to see if Rantanen can put up big numbers now that is not playing with Nate Mackinnon. If Rantanen dose not produce the same or better numbers with Dallas maybe Mcfarland made the best move to trade Rantanen. I personal think Rantanen will have less production now that he is in Dallas. Also it is very difficult to accept that Mich Marner will elevate Vegas. I am not sure Marner’s playing style is a good match for Vegas.The move looks like a free agent bust

This is typical. All of these pre – season power rankings & media types who work at a national level glaze every team that has stars.

Didn’t look at the list. Because any list that has 8 teams in front of the Panthers is dumb.

I suppose you are right. Last time I suggested Bednar should be out, though, I got minused like crazy.

Doesn’t matter who we get. Avs could have all of Team Canada and 29,8 would still play near 30 minutes every night. Why spend a dime on any player when the coach only trusts 2 of them.

Right now it appears the top 6 forwards and top D pair will have to bear the weight of this team…
