NHLP Cup Threat Ratings For 2010/11(Updated
For 5 Games, 6% (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.

Matt
(South) |
How does this guy do it? Leading the CTR all last season, the Ice
have started strong again. Who can argue when you have the fiesty
Ribeiro and JP Dumont both getting over a point a game and on the top
two seeds in the West! Fleischmann and Lecavalier are top seeded
teams as well in the East. Until these teams fade, this team will
stay high in the CTR rankings. |

Chad
(North) |
Is there a hotter team right now? This team is dominating.
Led by Kessel who is chewing up goaltenders. GM Chad is finally
enjoying watching his Leafs play, getting 9 of a possible 10 points to
start the season. Daniel Sedin, Kaberle, Booth and Samuelsson are
doing their part. Bergeron has yet to get a point, making this
team even more scary, as that guy can bring fans out of their seats and
likely will do so any day now. We like this team as long as
Toronto sticks around. Why can't they? Every year there is a
Colorado or Phoenix and you can't argue until someone proves that they
can actually beat these guys. |

Jr
(South) |
Sullivan and
Legwand are making this team strong as Nashville is a top seed and
looking great. Phaneuf is doing his part while Spezza is scoring
but Ottawa is no where to be found in the NHL standings.
Pominville has not only yet to register a point, he still thinks he is
playing in Rochester. Jr is liking Pominville's Rochester numbers,
quite a bit, right about now. |

 |
Charlie
(East) |
Sitting in 4th spot in the East, this is the Divisions best all around
team. Ovechkin is pure gold, picked first, thanks to a pre-draft
deal that GM Charlie has to be smoking happy with. One has to
wonder just what GM Shawn could have gotten had he put it out to the
league he'd move the first overall pick? Maybe poor management by
many other GM's and a great, great move by Charlie. Outside
Ovechkin, this team may have trouble getting points, and still nothing
from the often injured Holmstrom. Right now though, we like where
this has started. |

 |
Shawn
(South) |
Another team
from the South! One point out with two players yet to get a point
this seasonm how is it even possible in this Division? Oh ya, he
has BRAD RICHARDS on his team! First place Dallas Stars and 10
points from Richards in just 5 games. Who needs anything from
Burrows and Turris with production from your second round pick like
that. Now if only Iginla would finally be Iginla again. |
6 |
1149 |
 |
Michael &
Ray
(West) |
These kids are good! Well, maybe not Bourgue and Frolik who have
zero points yet. OK, maybe not Doan who isn't rated and clearly
now is a goon more than a point getter. But you have to like Sharp
and Morrow!!! This team can only go the right way, UP! We
love it's potential but it isn't something they want to sit on.
Early action could make something here worth writing about. |

Michael & Ray
(North) |
Seen Stamkos?
Not many goalies are seeing his shot right now. He is just
amazing. With Tampa a high seed, the second-year GM's are loving
his nightly hi-light reel. They are the first GM's to have both
teams mention at #6 and #7 overall. Vanek and Elias are not rated,
so there is much room to improve when their teams get going as they
will. Love Stamkos, love the guy! |
8 |
1081 |
 |
Joel
(West) |
We see all the potential for this team this year, to improve that is.
How can't they improve when they are scoring at will and with
their Divisional position improving daily, on the weak links behind
them. This team has only 3 players here who are even getting
rated. No where to go but up. St Louis and Malone are
striking hot for the Lightning and Stewart, you have to enjoy watching
this kid Stewart. Sit back and also watch the Canucks climb the
CTR folks! |
9 |
1075 |
 |
Ryan
(East) |
With Semin and Downie leading the charge GM Ryan's Bruins are looking
very good early. Washington has already take over a top two seed
in the East, keeping Semin's value high. |
10 |
1004 |
 |
Shawn
(East) |
First place in the East and the third ranked in the CTR top 10 from the
East is GM Shawn in Halifax. Having no trouble scoring, GM Shawn's
Destroyers are off to a great start. All Western Division players,
except Horton, who are battling for early seeding position (Detroit, St
Louis and Vancouver). This team is a solid drafted team with
Henrik Sedin, Horton, Franzen, Lidstrom and Oshie. Bolland from
Chicago is the top seeded playoff team this early. Shawn has the
first two Waivers of the season and clearly he has a ton of options to
choose from. Will be very exciting to see what he does to improve
here in Halifax. |
11 |

 |
Marcel
(South) |
A decent ranking with room to improve from Smyth and Kopitar if
the Kings can climb to a higher seed. Weber is getting full value
with Nashville at the top of the standings. All 7 are rated at
this time and not many teams can make that claim right now. |
12 |
971 |
 |
Andrew
(North) |
GM Andrew finds himself in the top scoring Division, the North, so the
heat is on. Invested heavily in Philadelphia, the Flyers are
barely rated. Needs them to improve to move up. Hossa is
just wicked right now and Chicago can still improve their own seeding to
help out here. Kovalev has been a major bucket of shit, so watch
and see what Andrew tries to do early here. |
13 |
951 |
 |
Scott
(West) |
You heard it here first everyone.....Gagne will not go his next 5 games,
like his first 5, without getting a point. No bets though, just
saying. Already know how betting with your heart can be expensive.
Thank goodness for Stastny however! Once Benn gets his army of
brain cells firing again, we think this team can still do some climbing,
as Toews hasn't been scoring either, so the potential is there in the
pathetic West Division. |
14 |
905 |
 |
Scott
(East) |
Alfredsson and
Ennis are pulling the number down as neither is rated at this time.
Led by Kane and Eriksson, thanks to a hot start by Dallas. Will
continue to improve position over the teams behind in the East who can't
keep up in the scoring department. |
15 |
904 |
 |
Joel
(North) |
Everyone is rated and damned near everyone is scoring for GM Joel.
This team is hot, but is majorly invested in San Jose with Thornton,
Clowe and Pavelski. Those Sharks are only rated because of games
at hand, so although they should be fine, they are going to have to get
some points in those games. This team needs to keep it's pace as
this is by far the top scoring Division in the NHLP, with no signs of
slowing. Would help if Ponikarovsky would stop grazing in the
field somewhere and start getting some points himself. Expect Poni
rides soon in Buffalo.

Ryan
(West) |
You know the best thing about being in the West? You are in
Calgary's Division!!! Great seeding from Laich, Hornqvist and
Galiardi has this team sailing, even though Parise, Weiss and Hall only
have a total of 4 points between them. That has to change in a big
way and we are certain the scoring will improve here soon. |
17 |
770 |
 |
Andrew
(West - Pacific) |
Plekanec and Malkin are providing the points and Bozak has good value as
the Leafs keep winning. Erat has back problems which will get this
team looking for a Waiver and a deal if he isn't back, pardon the pun,
soon. |
18 |
630 |
 |
Tyson
(South) |
Where would this team be without Neal? The guy is on fire, with 7
points in 5 games and his Dallas Stars are a CTR top seed. Now for
the bad news. Gaborik's shoulder, like his hip, had to be put back
into location and half of this team isn't ranked, with Phoenix and New
Jersey taking the first few weeks off. |
19 |
651 |
 |
Charlie
(South) |
Just a horrible rating from the South's first place Surf. Half the
team is on the beach while only Bertuzzi (when did he become a scorer
again), Zetterberg and Brouwer are being ranked. Nothing from
Buffalo or New Jersey and that will need to change, first place or not,
before this Surf rides the CTR to the top.
|
20 |

 |
Tyson
(East) |
Cup hangover? The teams not scoring and the top guys who are,
Mikko Koivu and Dubinsky are on junk teams. Backstom and Versteeg,
yes Versteeg, are carrying this ranking. Simmons, the deadbeat
pick up for the injured drafted Prospal seems to be a bad choice at this
point, with Simmons yet to light the lamp or even pass it to someone,
who even passed it to someone else, who lit it for him. With zero
points, Prospal's potential injury pick of 5 points might be looking
damn fine about now. Expect changes to occur here, as soon as
possible. |
21 |
518 |
 |
Matt
(North) |
The scoring has been great considering GM Matt is carrying Savard.
That is a good thing, as otherwise, this team would be buried in the
high scoring North Division. What isn't as pretty is the no rating
from Perry on this team, and Tanguay, Heatley and Boyle are only rated
due to our big hearts, which eventually shrinks with the standings. |
22 |
475 |
 |
Marcel
(North) |
How do you say
YIKES in French? YIKES!!! No one is scoring and if it wasn't
for the NY Islanders quick start this team would be as bad as Calgary's
rating last year (OK, we know Cincinnati had the worse rating last
season, but that wouldn't be poking fun of Jr's misery and that is no
fun in itself). This team is going to continue to fall here until
the Devils (Kovalchuk and Zajac) get ranked or until GM Marcel makes it
happen. |
23 |
425 |
 |
Jr
(West) |
Look on the
bright side. Well, we don't know what the bright side is, we are
just saying, look on the bright side. Fire the assistant yet? |
24 |
315 |
 |
Chad
(East) |
This is just an ugly team at the moment. No one is scoring and
teams are not great seeded teams. Led by Sid the Kid, so it isn't
all that bad, as long as Pittsburgh stays in the playoffs, this team
will always be able to improve via trade. Will need lesser guys to
get moving as Gonchar, Keith, Stempniak and Lombardi have 5 points
between them. Sid may be able to lift that heavy medicine ball,
but carrying it, on his back all season, might be asking too much! |

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.
