NHLP Cup Threat Ratings For 2010/11(Updated
For 20 Games, 24% (Percent) of the Season and Transaction 17)
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) |
Oshie's injury was much more long term than the CTR realized, but GM
Shawn is still 12 points clear of 5th and he seems to have decided to
try and ride the injury out. That will be a very tough thing, as Oshie isn't expected back until January or February. No shortage
of assets here; two Wings, Bruins and Blues, teams that are all 1 through 4 seeds if
the playoffs started today. Lidstrom has been unbelievable.
Hank Sedin had his ranking fall with Vancouver's drop, that now of an almost unrated
team.
This team is still the team to beat in the NHLP but things have all of a
sudden tightened a lot. |
| 2 |
1655 (L12 - 971) |
 |
Andrew
(North) |
The best in the North Division, but not by much at all. This team
is really strong and for GM Andrew to actually say, "I don't think I can
improve this team right now" says exactly what we weren't thinking!!!
This team is strong, but hell yes, it can, even be better. A solid
position and top seeded players lead by Giroux, who was a drafted third
round gift...just good drafting by Andrew. The loan player not
rated is Kovalev. |
|
3 |
1600 (L7 - 1053) |
 |
Michael & Ray
(North) |
A great waiver
pick has jumped the Sens to a season high CTR. Colaiacovo and
Jokinen are both rated. They tried to trade asset Kostitsyn and no
one bit, all the better for this team as Montreal is smoking hot.
Stamkos is on fire but Tampa remains only a 5th seed. Rafalski is
the most valuable asset here as Detroit is 1st overall in the NHL and
Rafalski has been much better than a point a game, even though only 8
games in for himself. Vanek and Elias, as well as 24 points to
give, means this team not only can improve, but actually could take over
top spot in the CTR, if things fall into place from here on out. |
| 4 |
1502 (L8 - 1099) |
 |
Charlie
(East) |
No NHLP team has top seeded players like GM Charlie does here in New
York. Are you kidding us? Ovechkin leads this charge on a
team with two Caps, two Flyers and two Wings...with a Hab (ouch, it's
ONLY Gomez), who are seeded 3rd to boot.
This team does have one little problem....IT CAN'T SCORE!!! Right
now, GM Charlie's Rangers, are 14 points out, but their isn't a team with
more moveable parts in the entire NHLP. This team will be heard
from this season. The loan question, always remains with a GM
Charlie team, is what will Charlie be able to do,
to keep this team strong, but in a playoff position, which at the
moment, cannot happen unless Charlie makes a trade! |
|
5 |
1446 (L9 -
1075) |
 |
Ryan
(East) |
At CTR #5, but only the 3rd best rated team in the East!!!
Semin is the golden boy here for GM Ryan, leading a great team, in a big
way. This team is awesome, with room to improve, and a coming waiver
for some tweaking. The loan problem here, remains scoring.
Ryan is going to have to battle all season long for position, that won't come
easy with Crosby, Ovechkin, and Backstrom on teams behind him in this
Division. At some
point, someone is going to sell out! It is a game of skill, and
will power, and it is definitely...GAME ON! |
| 6 |
1337 (L16 - 606) |
 |
Joel
(North) |
A season high CTR, even with some season low, bad news. After
picking up first line, King player, Parse, he quickly was lost for 3
months. That was devastating news to GM Joel's Sabres. Not
helping is the fact, the Sharks, just can't seem to climb the NHL
standings. If that happens, the Sharks start winning, Joel will
rise up the CTR, as this is the NHLP's best Sharks team. Williams
is having a sensational season. |
| 7 |
1294 (L11 - 980) |
 |
Marcel
(South) |
There is no hotter player in the NHL than Staal with 16 points the first
22 days of November. GM Marcel, has no position, and still has
Perron out with a concussion (could say he got 'Clothes Lined'), but
this team is full of top seeds. Kopitar is worth as much as any
NHLP player, so Marcel has all kinds of options, in Florida's run for
Cup #2. |

Ray
(West) |
Have you ever watched the TV program "May Day?" Well it is really
good! It is about true stories, of plane crashes, or almost plane
crashes. Sometimes the pilot and co-pilot are good enough, or
lucky enough, one the same, to pull the plane out of what appears
certain disaster. It is a great program. Check it out! |
| 9 |
1209 (L20 -
540) |
 |
Tyson
(East) |
Still climbing, as the Kings stay hot and Doughty finally awakes.
Although, Simmonds now appears dead, at least everyone is rated! Backstrom
is the team leader in points, seeding and CTR ranking. Still a struggle
within the Division, with
everyone else here, for position, but nice assets if needed later on the
trade front. |
| 10 |
1173 (L19 -
651) |
 |
Charlie
(South) |
Still 26 points up on 5th, and sitting with top seeded assets Zetterberg
and Bertuzzi, of the number one team in the NHL. How is this team
only at 1173 in the CTR ratings? Well, no ratings from Roy, Arnott
and Myers aren't helping. Havlat and Brouwer are fringe seeds at
best. This team, only has position, and two Detroit players
helping this rating. GM Charlie needs to work his points,
something past history tells us, isn't likely to happen!!! A great
hockey coach, but an NHLP, average GM! |
|
11 |
1074 (H4 - 1200, L15 - 703) |
 |
Joel
(West) |
Anaheim can't make up their mind! The Ducks are either really hot
and really cold, and this past week, really cold! GM Joel likely
doesn't care a whole lot, as this team just keeps opening up it's
position, now 27 points clear of 5th in the West. Three 20-point
players; St Louis, Stewart and Getzlaf. Phoenix has made a nice
climb from unrated to the 6th seed, making assets of Wolski and Upshall.
No doubt there is room to improve and one thing we love about GM Joel,
he doesn't sit on his ass and watch things unfold...he does his own
laundry! |

969 (H5 - 1153,
L15 - 784) |
 |
Shawn
(South) |
There are 5
NHLP Championships from the South Division teams (Two from St Louis and
Dallas, and one from Florida) so we thought, hey, that is more than any
other division in the NHLP, we better lay off the South Division a
little. Then we realized, the GM's between them in the North
Division, had a League low (for a Division) number of Cups between them,
so we thought, this all does make sense. Did that make sense?
What made sense? Well, ragging on them, being a pathetic division
and all, made sense to us. This division, points wise, is
horrible. Here is GM Shawn, still in third place in the South, but
only 83 points, good for 6th in all the other divisions!!! Really,
that matters not, and won't matter as much as, the teams CTR, their
league-wide strength come playoffs. This teams top rated player is
Hartnell. Enough said. |
|
13 |
934 (H8 - 1025, L12 - 876) |
 |
Scott
(East) |
Six players
with double digit points and 12 points up on 5th with only 5 players
rated. St. Louis dropped seeds, hurting McDonalds and Steens
rating and Alfredsson now joins Ennis as the unrated players. Kane
has moved into a ranked position, as have half the teams in the West
currently are.
This team can score, but clearly nothing too exciting in the way of a
great CTR. |
| 14 |
895 (L23 -
425) |
 |
Jr
(West) |
Still climbing
after a slow start, and to a new CTR high. Bright spots in Briere
and Green while Hejduk is solid. Jokinen is a major bust and
Eberle, chipping in scoring, but not in the CTR, will have to be waiver
or minor material at some point. |
| 15 |
869 (H13 -
951, L20 - 456) |
 |
Scott
(West) |
Is GM Scott into liking pain? Why does he go to the well, year
after year, and pick Markov? Stastny, Toews and Campbell go from
zeros to numbers and ranked. Thank goodness this division is
ONLY a 5 team race. |
| 16 |
857 (H1 -
1648, L12 - 834) |
 |
Matt
(South) |
Thank God for Richards! His 15 points this month are tied for
second in the NHL. When you are tied with Stamkos for anything,
you are doing GOOD!!! This team has Tampa Bay problems.
Lecavalier is a problem, with his broken hand, and Gagne is a problem,
with his umm, his ahhh, ummm....Well, ok, no one knows what is wrong
with Gagne, but it is a problem for GM Matt. Either come back and
play or take the season off. Enough already! Let's be
honest. Gagne was a wanted man on many draft lists, even though
none admit it now, but through 21 games this season, still not one
point. Least Savard has an excuse! After saying that, if you
offer him up tomorrow, I can think of a few GM's that will give you 5 to
10 points for him! If you don't believe that, have the balls,
auction him off to the highest bidder... |
| 17 |
821 (L20 - 470) |
 |
Matt
(North) |
Savard's return nears and the Nords just keep scoring. Miles ahead
of the 5th and 6th place teams in the North, so far in fact, Savard
might as well rest until the playoffs, for until the teams behind in the
North do something, this team is very safe. These guys can score!
Two point per game players; Heatley and Perry, are leading the scoring,
but not the CTR, as Anaheim is now out and San Jose barely rated, tied
for the 8th seed. This team has something to look forward to in
Savard, but no single player can rise this team to the top of the CTR by
themselves, so as is, we like it, but we aren't feeling the love just
yet. |
| 18 |
818 (L24 -
315) |
 |
Chad
(East) |
A nice climb in the CTR thanks to adding Laich. A waiver this
week, so Parise might turn into something rated also. Crosby is
the point leader but Pittsburgh isn't a top four seed, so there is room
for this team to improve. One point ahead of 5th, and it just does
not appear this team will start climbing in this tough division, where
all season, everything will be earned! |
| 19 |
753 (H17 -
770, L18 - 534) |
 |
Andrew
(West - Pacific) |
Another team in the West with 3 - 20+ point players. Malkin,
Plekanec and Selanne may have 'much different' CTR values, but they are
all scoring for GM Andrew. The same can't be said for Rolston,
Setoguchi and Chara. As far as assets, half the team isn't worth
typing their names out, so GM Andrew has work to do if this team is ever
going to be more than a wanna-play-first-round-matchup or #19 in the CTR
out of the junk behind! |
| 20 |
727 (L24 - 67) |
 |
Tyson
(South) |
A nice improvement, thanks mainly to the Coyotes jump in the NHL
standings, from unrated to a number 6 seed. "That is what happens
when the standings are so tight and you have two players on a team that
has a 6 game winning streak" stated Muddy Capone, "All of a sudden
Whitney and Vrbata, whether you like the Yotes or not, are assets in the
NHLP." Gaborik has come back scoring, but the two Canucks, Kesler
and Raymond are not getting much value as the Knuckles have lost 3 in a
row and fallen to the 8th seed in the West. |
|
21 |
648 (H2 - 1365,
L22 - 333) |
 |
Chad
(North) |
A long 13 points out with Vancouver struggling to stay rated, sitting in
the 8th seed in the West. This team has assets but can't score.
If Daniel Sedin slows up, this team fades fast. There comes a time
when you must give up on players like Knuble and Modano when you can't
score. Get some scoring and save the best asset, before he becomes
your only way out. |
| 22 |
502 (L22 - 422) |
 |
Marcel
(North) |
"We have some
scorers on this team" said GM Marcel. We just ask, who are they?
GM Marcel just dropped from 14 points out at the CTR 15 game mark to 30
points out in just 35 player games. This team is going seriously,
in the wrong direction, and we believe GM Marcel may be holding on to
his beloved Canadiens, managing with his heart, and not his head.
"When you are this far out and have a waiver" says Muddy Capone, "Do you
keep your Subban's who have 8 points in 20 games? You have to cut
the string, or use it, to tie up a nice package with some points."
Marcel, did neither. |
|
23 |
241 (H3 - 1207,
L24 - 159) |
 |
Jr
(South) |
Spezza,
Pominville and Phaneuf not rated. Marleau, Sullivan and Legwand
are 8th seeds, at best. Gionta has 11 points in 21 games. GM
Jr's Stars are 11 points out of the playoffs. |
|
24 |
169 (H16 -
870) |
 |
Ryan
(West) |
Lets be honest. No GM can somehow, magically be OK, if their top
player goes down for three months, and they lose another top pick for 6
weeks (Parise and Galiardi). We wish that on no GM, and if we had
to wish it upon any GM...well, poor old Ryan, would not be at the top of
the list. Who would be? Hey, this is about Green Bay!
Ryan, unloaded Parise and Galiardi, and is only 13 points out of 5th,
has assets in....in....in ahhhh....Clark and Talbot are on playoff teams
(there is your assets). Maybe GM Ryan should have kept Parise and
Galiardi after all! |

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
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.
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.
