NHLP Cup Threat Ratings For 2010/11(Updated
For 10 Games, 12% (Percent) of the Season)
The NHLP has always came out with the Cup Threat Rating (CTR). The CTR is also known as the Power Rankings in the NHLP. It is a time perfected, skill based, best prediction of what teams
are the best and what teams have the best chance of winning it all. It has
been
very accurate over the years, however 2009/10 wasn't exactly bang on. It
is true that the CTR holds strongest when upsets do not occur in the playoffs
and Philadelphia being a low seed and making the finals did effect the CTR last
year. Cleveland (Tyson) was the CTR #13 ranked team. However in
2008/09, the CTR predicted Las Vegas and Dallas as being
the two best NHLP teams and of course Dallas beat Las Vegas in the NHLP finals.
The CTR Nailed Florida in 2007/08 as NHLP winners and many other winners over the years.
The CTR really
does work. It isn't a perfect science, but it is not a guess either.
If you are near the top, you have a good team and a better shot at winning, near the
bottom, a bad team with little hope as is. The nice thing is you have the
power to change your teams position at any time. This will be on-going and
ever changing all year. How it works - Teams will move up and down based
on their Transactions, NHLP Standings (Points back or points to give), Players
Points, Depth Charts, PP Time on the ice and mainly the NHL standings.
You may not like the teams seeded 1st in each Conference to win it all, but the CTR does not go by gut feelings,
only 100% statistics. It holds truest when there are no upsets (but when
is that?). This is the NHLP Power Rankings.

Shawn
(East) |
A HUGE jump in that ratings. Up from CTR #10 to first overall in
the ratings! This team is truly Destroying in every sense of the
word. Top seeded players Oshie and Backes and home seeds from
Lidstrom, Franzen and Horton. Five players are averaging a point
per game. GM Shawn is easily outscoring all the other teams in the
East and will continue to build on his solid position. All this
without even a rating from his first round selection, Henrik Sedin.
We expect that to change, as Vancouver is expected to be a playoff team
at some point this season. A minor first Waiver, adding Dupuis for
Bolland was just moving sideways. Their is nothing not to love
about Halifax. Welcome back Shawn! |

(North) |
Having the
NHLP's most valuable player is always nice. That clearly is
Stamkos. Stamkos has 19 points in 10 games and his Lightning are
first in the East. Kostitsyn and Rafalski are the only others
rated, but they are highly rated. This team has room to improve
big time. That is important, as the North is tough, but so is this
Sens team. |
|

1288 (L11 - 980) |
 |
Marcel
(South) |
A very sweet upward climb in the CTR for GM Marcel. Kopitar and
Smyth are only part of the great story developing in the Zoo.
Perron is on a team that just can't lose (Da Blues) and doing quite well
with 6 points in 9 games. Position is good as teams behind deal
with injuries in the South. Staal is no longer rated but six
others are and looking OK. (Now let's check out the Gorilla
Pavillion) |
| 4 |
1200 (L8 -
1081) |
 |
Joel
(West) |
GM Joel has two teams in the top 5 overall in the CTR. Still only
3 rated players here, shows you where this team can be down the
road when that changes. The Lightning connection of St Louis and
Malone are top seeds in the East, while Stewart is sadly just lost in
Colorado. Not lost in any other sense, but lost to the fans,
seeing this guy play every night. He loves fighting, so much so,
the team told him to knock it off and concentrate on scoring. He
has 16 points in just 11 games to go with his 25 minutes in penalties.
He said he'd still like to fight more, if they allow him too!!! (Here
Stawart bloodies Regehr in a few places and
Here poor Strachan
is a bloodied rag doll) |

Joel
(North) |
Jason Williams, in the 7th round, is turning out to be just an awesome
pick. The Kings aren't losing and games and Williams just keeps
scoring every game. Then again, there are not many on this team
not scoring. Thornton, Pavelski and Clowe are still only barely
rated, but non the less rated. If that barely rated becomes a top
seed, so will this team be near the tops of the CTR. Thornton just
tied a Sharks record for getting a point on 8 straight goals. He's
good! |
| 6 |
1122 (L9 -
1075) |
 |
Ryan
(East) |
The second best team in the East, even though in 5th spot, and is having
trouble scoring. Top seeded players Semin, Downie, Brown and Boyes
is not something many teams, if any can boast. Needs more scoring
from Nash, Boyes and Antropov. This team fits GM Ryan's style
quite nicely. |
| 7 |
1108 (L12 - 971) |
 |
Andrew
(North) |
The Hossa injury hasn't hurt this high scoring team just yet, so they
will likely weather it. The Flyers did improve their standings, as
did the Kings. Stoll is hot, hot, hot. |
|
8 |
1099 (H4 -
1200) |
 |
Charlie
(East) |
Last in the East in the standings, and dropping from 1st to 3rd in the
Eastern Divisions CTR ranking are Chuck's Rangers. Still a great
team at CTR #8. Still scoring problems however. Gomez and
Zherdev have 5 points between them. They need to wake up, just as
Holmstrom did, with 5 points in three games. Expect the scoring to
pick up some, but that only means this team can compete for 4th. |
| 9 |
1053 (L19 -
651) |
 |
Charlie
(South) |
The CTR is much improved, but only thanks to the Red Wings improved
ranking, and a whopping 23 points up in potential over 5th place in the
South. WOW! Four players still not ranked and those teams,
the Sabres, Devils and Wild are not really showing a lot of life yet at
all. When do you decide to ship guys out from those teams?
We are 12% through the season. Most say that is early, but we say,
that is 12%, almost 15% and working on 25%. Have those teams shown
a reason they can turn things around in the next 10 games? Always
fun questions that are always easy for us to answer. |

1013 (H1 -
1648) |

Matt
(South) |
A major drop. Position is still solid at 10 points up.
Dallas went from a top seed to a seed barely rated in the Western
Conference. Dumont hasn't got a point since last rating and
Riberio has slowed, but nothing like Lacavalier. Still a solid 6
rated players but likely a more realistic expectation here, than the CTR
#1. |
|

965 (H6 -

Michael &
Ray
(West) |
OK, maybe Bourque is good! After being trashed by the
CTR, Bourque decides to win player of the week, with 6 points and 9 over
a 4 game span. The part that sucks, is he isn't rated in the CTR
for the Jets, as the Flames are not seeded. Dallas and Florida
also took a NHL standings tumble, hurting the CTR. GM's Mike and
Ray have a boat load of points to give and are stretching that out daily
with injuries throughout the West behind them, so all is well in Jets
Land. |

876 (H14 - 905) |
 |
Scott
(East) |
Isn't in the
same class as Halifax (Shawn) even though just three points behind in
the East. Lead by Steen and McDonald thanks to the top ranked
Blues who just don't allow goals. Kane is chipping in, but
Alfredsson and Ennis, will need to be shipped out if Ottawa and Buffalo
don't wake up. Will continue to battle for second in the East. |

No Savard! No problem! No scoring problem, that is.
This teams is lighting the lamp. Heater has 5 goals and this team
19. Perry and Tanguay are not ranked as the Flames have fallen out
of the rankings. Room to improve yes, especially if Savard or a
replacement for him, arrives. |

The Yearbook seems to have lit a fire under Simmonds butt as he went
from zero to hero in a hurry. The Kings have jump atop the NHL
standing in the West along with the Blues and that holds well for the
Fury with Simmonds and Doughty. The team however, has injury
problems. Backstrom still leads the way, giving the Fury a top
scoring Capital, mirroring last years NHLP Champions, which were led by
Ovechkin. Koivu's scoring will look good in a Waiver later on. |
| 15 |
784 (H5 - 1153) |
 |
Shawn
(South) |
Still a solid
position but clearly a disappointing slide backwards for GM Shawn.
What gave? Richards 10 in his first 5, turning to 4 in his last
five is still solid, but Dallas dropped through the standings like an
anchor overboard. Iginla and Turris, although final getting some
points, are not rated. Krejci is a major bright spot as Boston is
on the rise and looking solid in net. Is hanging on well with
Burrows getting closer to his return. |
| 16 |
737 (H17 -
770) |
 |
Andrew
(West - Pacific) |
Malkin is still very slow, for Malkin. So are the Pens.
Selanne and Hemsky aren't rated. Plakanec remains solid as
Montreal has risen to the top seed in the East along with Tampa Bay.
Erat is back chipping in. |
| 17 |
700 (L23 -
425) |
 |
Jr
(West) |
All kidding
aside, that Eberle kid is good. Not rated, but good. GM Jr
has found his scoring after a few slow starts and the Green Injury.
Green wasted no time in coming back strong, leaving room to improve the
Capitals ranking here. Hejduk has been smoking hot while Briere
and Jokinen have improvement space in scoring and seeding. A nice
jump, but can it get higher? |
| 18 |
600 (H3 - 1207) |
 |
Jr
(South) |
Good thing GM
Jr's Stars only have to finish 4th to make the playoffs, for they are
already 23 out of 1st place in the South. Only 7 points out with
injuries a concern, the team just took a beating in the NHL standings
and CTR ranking. Three players teams drops seeds while only Gionta
was going the right way. Unfortunately, Gionta's scoring is
another issue, with only 3 points in 11 games. What is up there?
Nothing from Spezza and Pominville in the ratings and the later still
can't read at a grade 3 level (although he insists it is the pictures of
the frog and bunny giving him the problems). Things should get
better. |
| 19 |
458 (H22 - 475) |
 |
Marcel
(North) |
How do you say
DOUBLE YIKES in French? DOUBLE YILES!!! GM Marcel has fallen all
the way to 16 points back in the North with no signs of being able to
overcome this outside Kovalchuk, Zajac, Pronger, Vermette....ALL WAKING
UP! One guy isn't going to reverse the damage. To make
things much worse the Devils just suck so badly right now. They
can't stop anyone from scoring. GM Chad could score against the
Devils right now! The great news is the Devils are only 4 points
out of the playoffs. If they can prove they belong, and how can't
they, Kovalchuk at 6 points and Zajac at 4 are,VERY attractive, and
easily traded for major points. |
| 20 |
456 (H13 -
951) |

Scott
(West) |
Technically Gagne didn't go his next five games without a
point. He did go his teams next 5, but has only played
once since the last rating. His problem, he's a bandaid!!!
Benn just comes back and Huselius is now gone for 6 weeks. Look on the
bright side. NO, I am serious. Stay positive! |
|
21 |
339 (L24 -
315) |
 |
Chad
(East) |
Not what you'd hope for a team carrying Sidney. The Pens have
fallen further in the NHL standings as have the Hawks and Preds, all
teams of players here. GM Chad does have decent position
considering but there are not many assets on this team and won't improve
until changes come. |
| 22 |
333 (H2 - 1365) |
 |
Chad
(North) |
Is there a colder team right now? Actually, there is not!
This was a major collapse. This team was on fire and then
everything went wrong. The scoring stopped, a league low 6 points
this past week. Heavily invested in the previously 1st seeded
Leafs who started with 9 out of a possible 10 points in their first five
and have gotten 2 of 10 in their last five. Daniel Sedin also fell
out of the rated category along with Booth and Samuelsson. On top
of all this, Chad's Leafs are now double digits out of a NHLP playoff
spot in the North and falling fast. |
|
23 |
255 (H16 -
870) |
 |
Ryan
(West) |
You know the worst thing about being in the West? You're in
Calgary's Division!!! This team is in bad shape. Sucks
really. No one can score...well if they can, they aren't!!!
Parize just might have blown a knee and Hall may be demoted, although 5
points in 9 games is respectable. Connolly, Hall and Weiss (bad
ankle Weiss) are all not rated. This team is Knight and Day what
it was just two weeks ago and at 12 points back already, you have to
wonder...are the Knights getting longer or the days getting shorter? |
| 24 |
67 (H18 -
630) |
 |
Tyson
(South) |
Ten points out with only two players rated. Gaborik should stay
clear of the glow-in-the-dark-golfing for a while. |

The NHLP has always came out with the Cup Threat Rating (CTR) a couple times
a year. The CTR is also known as the Power Rankings in the NHLP. It is a time perfected, skill based, best prediction of what teams
are the best and what teams have the best chance of winning it all. It is
very accurate. Like last year it predicted Las Vegas and Dallas as being
the two best NHLP teams and of course Dallas beat Las Vegas in the NHLP finals.
Nailing Florida the year before as NHLP winners and many winners over the years.
The CTR really
does work. It isn't a perfect science, but it is not a guess either.
If you are near the top, you have a good team and a shot at winning, near the
bottom, a bad team with little hope as is. The nice thing is you have the

ever changing all year. How it works - Teams will move up and down based

You may not like the teams seeded 1st in each Conference to win it all, but the
CTR does not go by gut feelings, only 100% statistics. It holds truest
when there are no upsets (but when is that?). This is the NHLP Power
Rankings.
Notes -
Position refers to your NHLP standings. Good position means you have
points to give and potential to improve your playoff players on your team.
Position is ranked into the statistical formula above for the rankings,
however, Position disappears from the ranking in the very end when the playoffs
are decided and we predict the final cup favorites. It might mean
something now to have 50 points to give, so now we give you potential points so to
speak. If you do nothing with them, in the end, your standings and your 50
points mean nothing.
Fringe refers to your playoff players are near 6,7 and 8 spots, not great for
the CTR, but still better than non playoffs which are useless.
